Hi,

I'm attempting to use ACP to simulate loads on a FSAE CFRP Wheel.

The problem I have is that I'm unable to "butt-joint" the mesh from different stackups, as written in the documentation of the software (inside solid model options)

This model represents a 10" monolithic Wheel Shell in CFRP (CAD from UG 11). Mesh is very large (3mm) because of the computational power of my computer. I have run the same model in a rack system with 0.6mm mesh with the same (bad) results. But mesh quality might be a problem (not about the size of mesh in ANSYS but the mesher? I will try to mesh it on ANSA but my colleague is out of the workshop for some days).

As you can see in the attachements, the laminate is:
1. First a "A" thickness on a "name selection" which is the full surface.
2. Second the "A" thickeness on every "name selection" which is every part surface.

So regarding my question, how do you do in ANSYS ACP butt-joining plies?

Note: Under NX I have not part any surface.
