How to eliminate warnings for lost scoping and defeaturing protected topologies?

      Hi I have received the following two warnings detailed below which i am trying to deal with.nWarning 1= One or more objects may have lost some scoping attachments during the geometry update. You can identify these in the tree objects by filtering the tree using the Scoping option set to PartialnWarning 2 = Some boundaries of protected topologies have been defeatured. Right click on this message and select ‘Show Problematic Geometry’ to see the affected edges.nnIn relation to the lost scoping objects i have examined the tree objects and there is nothing appearing as partially scoped, therefore i do not understand why this warning keeps coming back.nnIn relation to the protected topology, previous posts identified the mesh defeaturing default as being the issue. I reduced the default size to 0.0000001m, which did not work, significantly smaller than any edge i have in my beam and shell model. Then i also turned off the Mesh Defeaturing which also did not work, image below.nAny assistance with resolving these issues would be appreciated. nRegards,nMichael

      Hello Array,
      I see question marks on "Fixed Support and Pressure", this is probably due to loss of scoping attachment. Try reassigning geometry to these loads and see if it works.

      Hi Array ,

      Apologies i should have minimised the static and modal analysis's to avoid confusion, these warnings are from the transient analysis at the bottom. You will note the green check marks beside fixed supports and pressure.

      Also the analysis is solving in all cases.

      Hi,

      Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve these warnings.


      The analysis will solve, so scoping for geometry, loads, supports etc are all okay.


      Thanks,

      Michael
