Volume elimination

Hello ANSA users,
I need clarification related to H-blocking . I have two separate boxes which are not connected to each other like …
Is there any command to connect the control points ? Or can we generate volume 2 with volume-1 ?
Please suggest your ideas..

thnks

Hi there,

No you cannot work with two independent volumes
Delete Volume 2
and then split Volume 1 into 9 sub-blocks
the inner sub-block should then be fitted to the blade
and take the shape of Volume 2.
Then all will be connected. You will also have to
delete the inner box in the end as it should not be meshed

hope this helps
