Hello guys, I am working on the simulation of a rocket fairing that has 25 bodies designed on Fusion360.

Since there are errors when I try to mesh and apply a force on ansys mechanical on the structure in 3D, I have thought of doing it in 2D.

How can we turn our geometry in 2D so that we can solve for the action of a force on mechanical?

Thank you.

Hi,

What errors are you getting?

Have you tried defeaturing the model? Do you have access to SpaceClaim?

Yes I have access to SpaceClaim but I have no idea on how should I defeature my geometry.

Converting the bodies to 2D as you originally said would be a good idea but I can't explain to you how to do that very well. There are lots of videos on youtube explaining how to do it.

One tool you can use to create 2D surfaces from 3D geometry is the midsurface tool.

The same goes for defeaturing, plenty of tutorials on youtube.

If you want to post an archive of your FEA I can take a look at why your simulation might not be solving.
