SubscriberWhen using the Additive Print dashboard, I'm attempting to simulate a part that is built directly to the baseplate, but also has support genration for some of its overhang features. According to the Tutorial Documents provided in the ANSYS learning hub:
However, when I follow this guidance and set the minimum support height to zero (Z=0), it still does not generate the part to the base plate. Here is an example of viewing the Output FIle of Support displacement:
As context to what the part looks like:
This is with a mesh element size of 2.5 mm. The amount of material generated beneath the part depends on the mesh element size, a larger element size will result in a greater amount of support material beneath the part. But, I would like there to be zero support material beneath the part. Is there a way to correct this or am I forced to used the work bench and LPBF set up wizard?

Forum ModeratorHello, I am not an expert in this area but please see if the following article is relevant: In Additive Print Product, are there any instructions for simulating parts attached to the baseplate with minimum support height=zero? - Ansys Knowledge

Ansys EmployeeHi Glenn,
Did you uncheck the check mark ‘Simulate with support’? You can also check the below Ansys help like for more details.
