What is the difference between imprint and share topology operation in Ansys Discovery 

[Devendra Badgujar]

Hello Sarath,

The Imprint tool detects coincident faces, edges, and vertices between bodies and imprints them onto the coincident face. The contact regions will be the same shape, and the resulting mesh on each face will be similar. This can be helpful when analysing stress between two parts. 

Share topology is used for:

• For getting Conformal mesh.
• Imprinting for Contacts or Interface definition.

Please refer FAQ - Share Topology is now available in Discovery for more information. 

Regards,

Devendra
