Hi,

I need to obtain a conformal mesh between few bodies which I'm simulating. In order to do so, I have used contact matching. However, when I do the contact matching the mesh quality reduces significantly. Is there a way to keep the mesh quality the same while having conformal mesh?

Thanks.

For conformal mesh please use share topology in SpaceClaim.

Hi Keyur Thank you for your reply. The reason I have not used shared topology in Spaceclaim is, with shared topology enabled I cannot define connections between the bodies.
Is there a way to define contact between bodies while having a shared topology?
Thank you.
