Gasket error

[yassine kanoun]

Hello,
I have this error when I apply a pressure on gasket ( an error was detected when trying to generate surfaces on gasket regions. verify that the sweep direction on the gasket is along the thicknes) I already specify all the details.

 

[FEA way]

Is this about Abaqus ? In the case of some finite elements it’s important how the model is meshed. You can use the Mesh Controls tool to change the sweep direction/path. Check the documentation chapter "Assigning gasket elements to a region".

Yes it's abaqus, the error appears only when I apply a pressure on the gasket

Display the mesh stack orientation and change it if needed to meet the requirements of these elements (stated in the documentation). This should resolve the problem regardless of the type of applied load.
