I am performing a steady state thermal simulation my model consist of a composite having circular particles embedded inside a large circular domain. see image attached. Now I am importing a cad model having those random small dispersed circles. <\/p>\n

After this in ansys I am sketching the larger circular domain and then using surfaces from sketches I am generating the bigger circle.<\/p>\n

Then I am using boolean operation to separate those small circles from the large circle as both of them have different properties.<\/p>\n

 But the problem is that at Higher area fractions of small circle the operation is showing this error (“Error: Operation would result in non-manifold bodies
Context: Geometry Engine, while generating Feature Boolean1″)<\/p>\n

This is due to small distance between neighbouring particles. How can I troubleshoot this error as I am not able to identify the particle causing this as I have many composite of same area fraction but only some are causing this trouble.<\/p>\n

If I am able to identify the close one causing problem may be I can reduce their diameter. Also How can I perform this in design modular reducing the diameter operation??<\/p>\n
