Hi,
I am trying to use the penetration tool in HyperMesh to operate a boolean type operation. I have two 3D meshes and I want to subtract one from the other.
I am hoping to do this by selecting the elements that intersect / penetrate and deleting these. However, the penetration tool only finds the elements that are penetrating with ones that are on the outside surfaces. (See the diagram attached, showing the two meshes that I am using, and the located 'penetrated' elements).
Would anyone know why this is occurring, and what I need to do in order to locate all the elements that are intersecting.
Thanks
