[ANSYS Meshing] SolidWorks and Share Topology

ThomasEnzinger · March 6, 2018, 02:57

Hello,

actually I'm fighting with the SolidWorks-Interface of Ansys Workbench for an Multi-Body-CFX-Mesh.

Problem: Volume bodies with a shared face (contact region is automatic detected) must have an equivalent mesh at contact face.
In DesignModeler and SpaceClaim I can tell the Workbench about Share Topology and all is fine. But with an SWX-Interface, it seems to be a mission impossible.

Is there an way to insert an APDL / ACT script (or something else) to transfer the information about share topology to the mesher?

(Support-Ticket is open, but may be somenone else has an solution for me

)

Edit: We use the SolidWorks-Interface because of parametric model is in SWX and we will setup up an parametric wb solution for many cases.

Hi Thomas,

I have the same problem as you. Did Support come back with a satisfying answer ?

Best,
