My teacher required me to do simulations on a test thing, but I don&#8217;t know how to do the contour he described. My contour that I could get working looks like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/24506747-2879-4bd1-a218-a9ca00298810\/0ae8a27d-6acc-4e95-9b0a-a9cb0045900b_capture2.jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>And I can also make it look like this with the contour around the enclosure:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/24506747-2879-4bd1-a218-a9ca00298810\/76fb4885-0a8a-4d87-8d4c-a9cb0045c299_3.jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>However, my teacher wants me to make the basic contour that looks like this:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/24506747-2879-4bd1-a218-a9ca00298810\/013808e4-2adc-4e68-bdb4-a9cb00462fee_4.jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I have no idea how to do this. I can only contour the enclosure, or the model inside the enclosure. How do I get that sort of thing my teacher is talking about? Is it a result of my bad meshing?
