Setup Component in ACP (Pre) Recommendations — Lesson 5

I am getting the following error message: “Update Failed for the Setup component in ACP (Pre). ACP Input Validation Failure. There is no data contained in the input mesh file.”

This error will show when there are no shell elements in the model for ACP to work with. If the model has just solid mesh, you will get this error. Remember that ACP starts with a shell mesh for shell-based composites and for solid composites. The shells are extruded inside ACP (Pre) to form solids.
