      As ANSYS Staff, we can not download attachments. Please upload images using upload image functionality. nAuto skin may not work everytime with complex geometries. You may need to work with combination of different commands. nPlease check nRegards,nKeyurnHow to access Ansys Online Help DocumentnHow to show full resolution imagenGuidelines on the Student CommunitynHow to use Google to search within Ansys Student Communityn

      You will have to use reverse engineering tools shared. nIn such complex geometry auto skin may not work. You may need to do it manually. nAlso please check if you can take only one repetitive portion of this geometry. Use reverse engineering tools to create solid. Then repeat that solid to get full geometry. nPlease go through help manual for more details nRegards,nKeyurnHow to access Ansys Online Help DocumentnHow to show full resolution imagenGuidelines on the Student CommunitynHow to use Google to search within Ansys Student Communityn

      Dear Keyur,nnThanks for your response. I will have look into the help manuals for sure.nIn the meanwhile, I think I have found the main problem: there are too many sharp angles.nI have tried to press the green V of the picture below but I couldn't solve the problem.nIs there a best practice to remove sharp edges? You can find one example below.nnThanks,nMauronn

      You can use Facets - Smooth or shrinkwrap options. nPlease go through help manual for more details nRegards,nKeyurnHow to access Ansys Online Help DocumentnHow to show full resolution imagenGuidelines on the Student CommunitynHow to use Google to search within Ansys Student Communityn
