[ANSYS Meshing] The number of bodies are increased automatically when i open the mesh

masoudmeskin · January 14, 2017, 18:40

Dear All,
I hope someone can answer to this strange problem. I have 28 bodies in my geometry. When i open it in the mesh, it automatically generates two more bodies which are not active. Also two bodies which are supposed to be separated are stuck together?
Thank you

Hi. I also think this must be the problem. one of the bodies have a very small intersection with the other body. when i open the mesh, those two bodies are identified as one body and the intersection surface is recognised as a body. Can you help me how i can solve this problem?
Thank you

slice at that intersection may be so you distinguish between 2 bodies
