Hello, Previously when I had to perform structural analysis on a multi-body part in Discovery AIM, I would prepare the model in Spaceclaim, and used the "Group" option for the Share Topology feature so that the bodies would be grouped, but would not merge or share faces/edges with each other. I would then export the model into Discovery AIM to run the structural simulation. Now, I am using Discovery AIM 2020 R2 and not using spaceclaim at all, but preparing the model in AIM's embedded geometry modeler. I can not see an option to Group the share topology in this embedded modeler, all I see is the sharing tool, but I believe that this merges/shares faces and that I do not want. The mesh is failing whenever I use the share tool and that is the only difference between the old procedure and the new one. Is there a feature in AIM 2020's embedded geometry modeler to set the model's shared topology to "Group" like Spaceclaim had? Thanks

Hello Jchokan

Let me check with my team and get back to you on this.

Hello Subashni 

I have the same question.

Can I set shared topology in discovery 2021R1 ?

Thanks
