Share Topology Coincidence Tolerance

    • JourneyG

      I have a model with features of 5um and smaller.


      I wanted to use the share topology function. But its coincidence tolerance is 0.01mm which is too large to me. This will just delete my smalle features. I tried to change this value and it doesn't work. 


      Please help me!!!

      Try import model in units micrometer. Then perform all repair/edit and Share topology.

      Hi rkumbhar,


      Thank you very much for your reply.


      I changed it to micrometers and then open the file. It gives me this error.



       


      If I open this file first then try to change to micrometers. It doesn't give me this option.



       


      Do you have any idea?


       


      Thank you!!!

      Hi,


       


      Import the model in milimeter units. Then before making any changes, go to units and change them to Micrometer. Now in Share topology set tolerance of 0.01-0.001

      @Jaydeep,


      You did not get the same error. This is not even an error, it is just information. You seem to have vertical (z-axis) beams that have no vertex at the midpoint for the horizontal beam to connect with.  Delete the vertical beams and draw two lines for each vertical beam so that you have a vertex at the center of each vertical line.

      Hi

      How can you set share tolerance to some specific number BEFORE you press Share button? The problem is that when there are many parts in model sharing takes lot of time.

      Hello Petri,

      When share is activated, you can set the tolerance value using “coincidence tolerance” option. Potential candidates outside the coincidence tolerance are ignored. 

      For more information on using share tool, refer to this link:

      Share Tool (ansys.com)

      It is recommended to start a new post rather than following up in old threads for two reasons:

      1. You will get notified if you're owner of the post, when someone replies to you post.
      2. Generally unanswered posts grab more attention than which already have prior comments.

      Regards,

      Nanda.
