Now it is telling me there is something wrong in the mesh in Mechanical. I tried to view the mesh, but I do not have access to it.<\/p>\n<p>Second, I am trying to find a way to select faces, but it keeps highlighting the entire model. I cannot find a way to select specific nodes or faces on my model to later establish as the boundary condition and force loads.<\/p>\n<p>Below are the meshing error in Mechanical along with the highlighting in green of the entire model in picture 1.<\/p>\n<p>In picture 2, the indentation is where I am trying to select for named selection to later establish as the boundary condition.<\/p>\n<p>I would appreciate any input since this is my first FEA trial of Ansys. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Thank you,<\/p>\n<p>Marcos <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Picture 1: <\/p>\n<div class=\"embedExternal embedImage\">\n<div class=\"embedExternal-content\">\n<a class=\"embedImage-link\" href=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/747\/0YEU63VC4RXU.png\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"embedImage-img\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/747\/0YEU63VC4RXU.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2021-11-19 at 12.30.14 AM.png\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-164103","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-mechanical","topic-tag-ansys-student","topic-tag-boundary-conditions","topic-tag-meshing","topic-tag-structural-mechanics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_author_ip":[""],"_bbp_old_reply_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_reply_anonymous_id":["false"],"_btv_view_count":["2401"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["253690"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["164103"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["3350","210048"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["198096"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["198096"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-11-19 07:41:05"]},"test":"mmart261uottawa-ca"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/164103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/164103\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
