Reply To: Meshing thickness of the shell (Surface from Faces)

[Farah]

 

Hi Peter, thanks for your reply, but this was not working! :(

My original geometry is in a rigid solid format, so I am trying to create a wall based on this geometry. That’s why I’ve been using “Surface from Faces.” When I open it in the model, it asks me to define the thickness, so now I have a shell (AKA the wall of my geometry)

In this situation, I meshed this shell, which is why the mesh did not apply to my thickness (at least we know that ANSYS does not mesh the shell if I create it this way).

Referring to what you said, I need to use Mesh Edit –> Pull (Extrude), I can’t use this option because it’s limited to selecting edges or faces of my geometry, which doesn’t create nothing in any scenario.

 

I am eagerly looking forward to hearing back from you.
