[ANSYS Meshing] Overlapping solid mesh

peinakatsuki · November 7, 2013, 07:11

Hello everyone, I briefly illustrate my problem.
I created two solids: a cylinder of diameter 100 mm and height 1 mm and, resting on the upper base perfectly in the center, another cylinder of diameter 10 mm and height 200 mm).
Now I have to create a mesh for both, but I need the mesh of the surfaces of solids in contact have the coincident nodes, so then I can merge the two objects.
I hope I was clear enough.
Thanks to all

If you want to have conformal meshes then open your model in DesignModeler and combine the two parts into a Multi-Body Part (select both parts and right mouse click to combine them), this also negates the need for a contact. I assume this is for FEA since you mentioned solids

Ok thank you but I have to do necessarily this operation in mesh menu or with log file.
