I have followed the youtube video guide by ansys to do the analysis on the chassis, so I&#8217;m not entirely sure where I went wrong.<a class=\"wp-colorbox-image cboxElement\" href=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/21-05-2023-1684708347-whywhywhy.PNG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/21-05-2023-1684708347-whywhywhy.PNG\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Also, after I complete this analysis I need to do the same analysis, but with a floor section that will also be taking load. I have the floor created as a mid surface from space claim, but suppressed until I get the initial analysis working. The main problem that I have ran into with the floor (mid surface) is connecting it to the beams. I have tried connecting it using manual contact regions with no luck once trying to mesh. I am not super experienced in Ansys, so any help that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. I can provide any additional information that I have and thank you in advance! Also, sorry for multiple questions in one post.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"wp-colorbox-image cboxElement\" href=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/21-05-2023-1684708360-floor.PNG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/21-05-2023-1684708360-floor.PNG\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-285043","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["274673","88","291050"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.39.172.22"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["776"],"_edit_lock":["1684708550:205408"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["285043"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27786"],"_bbp_engagement":["88","274673","291050"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["298654"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["298654"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-08-08 06:01:04"]},"test":"clayarch88gmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/285043","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\/285043\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
