  Hi, I would like to know how to draw and define non-merge line on the fluent mesher software [Q - meshing ANSYS AUTODYN PrepPost] ?
  
  I tried to define the line in the middle section that I drew separately, but when I change it to 3D mode to go next step to the meshing procedure the line is auto merge.
  
  Any advice ?
  
  *When it's in the sketch mode you can see that the line is separate as picture 1.
  I draw a geometry on the spaceclaim and use the fluent mesher.
  
  Thank you,
  Sumit

  When you do the extrude operation there's an option to Merge Topology - make sure that's set as No.

  It's a 2D geometry, didn't extrude it just draw a line. I had checked the auto-merge was untick.
  *I click on the 3D mode for continuing to the next process.
  
  I don't get your answer, could you please clarify it a bit more ?

  I thought you were using DesignModeler which behaves differently.
  
  Having had a look the quickest way is to create the shape as you've done so. Use "split" under the Intersect panel and you should be able to split at the vertex.
