Hello,<\/p>\n

Previously when I had to perform structural analysis on a multi-body part in Discovery AIM, I would prepare the model in Spaceclaim, and used the “Group” option for the Share Topology feature so that the bodies would be grouped, but would not merge or share faces\/edges with each other. I would then export the model into Discovery AIM to run the structural simulation.<\/p>\n

Now, I am using Discovery AIM 2020 R2 and not using spaceclaim at all, but preparing the model in AIM’s embedded geometry modeler. I can not see an option to Group the share topology in this embedded modeler, all I see is the sharing tool, but I believe that this merges\/shares faces and that I do not want. The mesh is failing whenever I use the share tool and that is the only difference between the old procedure and the new one.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIs there a feature in AIM 2020’s embedded geometry modeler to set the model’s shared topology to “Group” like Spaceclaim had?<\/p>\n

Thanks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-255003","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-discovery-aim-2","topic-tag-share-topology"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["278439"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["463"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["255003"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_engagement":["202","13349","278439"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["263395"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["263395"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-05-03 07:12:42"]},"test":"jchokantextron-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/255003","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\/255003\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
