RE: shell mating in solidworks

I still don't understand Shell mating per your definition. I think your talking about something in ANSYS and using the Shelling option in there. If that's the case then you will need to post your question in the FEA forum for ANSYS.

However the other question I have is did you make an assembly or did you use the weldment option in SW. If you didn't then maybe you should have done it like that instead. Then you wouldn't have to convert an the assembly. I don't think what you are talking about on the "Shelling" can be done, but you can convert an assembly to a part. To do that do a file\Save as and change the type to a part.
