Hi,

I have a problem with the creation of named selection in Spaceclaim and the transfer throw Mechanical.

I create some Named Selection in Spaceclaim, with points. But when I open the model in Mechanical, none of the named selection appear and I get an error message : The named selection contains invalid selection.

Il noticed that everything is ok with named selection composed by faces or solids.

Than, I checked my points in Spaceclaim and I noticed that it's not "points" but it's "curve points".

(these lines are beams and were created with an automatic extraction from the solid)

Is the problem come from here ? How can I create my named selections with these points ?

Thanks

In 2023R2, I am able to import curve points from extracted beams into Mechanical. Which version are you using?

Make sure all vertices are attached to beams that have cross section. If the curves do not have cross section assigned, those are not imported into Mechanical

If this doesnt work, can you use worksheet named selection in Mechancial?

 

Example worksheet named selection to pick vertices from beams and then filter based on location

Thanks for your answer.

I'm using Ansys 2020R2 and vertices are attached to beams.

You can find attached an example on a simple case.
