I have created the CAD model in SolidWorks. I then went to ANSYS 16.1 and imported the assembly file.

Since I&nbsp;was doing the external flow simulation, I need to create a fluid domain, and hence I tried to unite the bodies together first (I am not sure if unite is actually needed), the unite boolean operation came with a warning:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Warning: No overlap or wrong types<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Context: Geometry Engine, while generating Feature Boolean 1.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>However, since there is a cyclist in my model, and I need to make different configuration of different postures, I must need to use assembly by joining different body parts, and thus there must be overlapping between the body parts.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I tried to continued to generate enclosure, and also tried to delete the Untied Boolean Operation and generate enclosure, but both resulted in failure of creating the enclosure.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>May I know what would be the possible fix of this issue?
