When I use the &quot;split body&quot; method in spaceclaim, it works. However, when I open my part in Mechanical is imports as two seperate parts with a &quot;bonded&quot; contact between them. The nodes on my partition edge do not match each other using the default mesh.<\/p>\n<p>In Abaqus it is possible to partition a body without having to set up a tie constraint between the two surfaces. Is the same thing possible in Ansys? I.e. just to create an edge on the body where I want nodes but not split my part into multiple parts with contact definitions. <\/p>\n<p>Maybe both are equivalent? I&#039;m just wondering if there&#039;s a cleaner way<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks,<\/p>\n<p>Mark<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-164384","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"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":["2574"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["234891"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["164384"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","234891"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["198987"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["198987"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-11-30 08:43:53"]},"test":"mark-hardimanmtu-ie"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/164384","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\/164384\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
