That is, I have cut the piece into different parts with Split Body and later in the Share Topology tab I have selected the Share option.<br \/>However, the pieces that I have calculated with this method have always presented me with points with stress concentrations at the junction of the different parts of the piece. I have created the following piece solely to verify what was stated above.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/01-04-2024-1711964405-mceclip0.png\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As can be seen in the images below, the maximum stress of the split piece is much higher than that of the single piece. In addition to that, it can be observed that the transition between different stressed areas (different colors) is much more abrupt in the divided piece, which indicates worse communication between the nodes. The mesh size and number of nodes is similar in both cases.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/01-04-2024-1711964415-mceclip1.png\"><\/p>\n<p>I have several doubts about this:<br \/>1) I understand that the Merge option is used more when performing a CFD because it allows the different parts of a part to be cut together, while Share is used for parts that are simply in contact but do not overlap one on top of the other, that is, there are no clashes between pieces. This is true?<br \/>2) Are there other ways to join parts of a piece so that these stress concentrations are not created or that the stress transition between adjacent nodes is more uniform?<br \/>3) How could I avoid those stress concentrations using share topology? I have tried reducing the mesh size but it doesn&#8217;t work to avoid stress concentration either.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Best regards<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-359780","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-mechanical","topic-tag-mergetopology-1","topic-tag-mesh","topic-tag-share-topology","topic-tag-spaceclaim","topic-tag-stress-concentration"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["245530","240"],"_bbp_author_ip":["96.7.218.223"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["611"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["359780"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","245530"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["359954"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["359954"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-04-02 09:31:47"]},"test":"mihai-riceanhotmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/359780","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\/359780\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=359780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
