The model appears to be able to mesh, until I get error messages regarding overlapping contact regions. <\/p>\n<p>I really don&#039;t understand what I&#039;m supposed to do to get around this and fix it, I&#039;ve tried many things such as using the share topology function in design modeler, converting the assembly into a solidworks part file, making the geometry a single part in design modeler, importing as .step and .igs, etc. <\/p>\n<p>Any help is appreciated, thanks <\/p>\n<div class=\"embedExternal embedImage\">\n<div class=\"embedExternal-content\">\n<a class=\"embedImage-link\" href=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/118\/53OTTY8FYLPN.png\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"embedImage-img\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/118\/53OTTY8FYLPN.png\" alt=\"image.png\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-166535","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-mechanical","topic-tag-contacts","topic-tag-fluent"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["9641"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["242238"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["166535"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","242238"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["5"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["206030"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["206030"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-02-21 12:28:45"]},"test":"cjlralgmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/166535","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\/166535\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
