I have created the CAD model in SolidWorks. I then went to ANSYS 16.1 and imported the assembly file. After clicking the generation button, it seemed the model was successfully imported (with a green tick next to &#8220;import&#8221;). 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? Thanks in Advanced!<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I have attached the zip of SolidWorks Model (2018version), as well as the .agdb file (just imported, no boolean and enclosure) in case you could not open SolidWorks.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-34628","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["6800"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0","0"],"_btv_view_count":["2838"],"_bbp_subscription":["239759"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["34628"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_engagement":["62","199","240","164418","251814"],"_bbp_voice_count":["5"],"_bbp_reply_count":["7"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["226058"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["226058"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-03-26 13:29:08"]},"test":"taeioum"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/34628","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\/34628\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
