I have simplified it down so it is easier to explain.<\/p>\n<p>I have to do a simulation geometry A and geometry B. Geometry A is fixed at the sides and Geometry B is inflated with pressure. Frictionless contact is applied between A and B.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Geometery A is comprised of three shell bodies of differing material properties. But they shared topology and have a coincident mesh. Geometry A is the picture below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/16-02-2023-1676562365-mceclip0.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Geometry B is comprised of 1 shell body.

I can&#8217;t combine a Dynain geometry (geom B) with a geometry from spaceclaim (geom A). To get around this I performed a small relevant part of the simulation on Geom A so that I could access it as a Dynain file. I then combined the two Dynain files from Geom A and B.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The next issue arises here. When you access geometry via Dynain any bodies that share coincident nodes are combined into one body. So for geom A, I lose the three individual parts and they are combined into one. This means I can&#8217;t then apply differing material properties to the parts. See the result of accessing geom A from Dynain below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/16-02-2023-1676563094-mceclip1.png\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Questions:<br \/>&#8211; Can I combine Geom A and Geom B in a different way?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Is there anyway to maintain the individual bodies from Geom A after dynain?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-250236","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-dynain-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_author_ip":["23.220.96.181"],"_bbp_subscription":["8177","13694"],"_wp_old_date":["2023-02-16"],"_btv_view_count":["719"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["250236"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27814"],"_bbp_engagement":["8177","13694"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["251045"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["251045"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-02-22 16:22:26"]},"test":"mn17b2mleeds-ac-uk"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/250236","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\/250236\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
