I want to evaluate the stresses in the small pulley, therefore it requires a mesh.<\/p>\n<p>I created a seperate static structural system in order to experiment with mesh methods, and landed on using the &#8220;slice&#8221; operation in Design Modeler to help increase mesh quality.<\/p>\n<p>I copied the mesh settings from this mesh over to the main transient structural system, but then when I generated the mesh, it is not the same mesh as in the static structural object. It somehow gets polluted and overrides the mesh sizings.<\/p>\n<p>Below I&#8217;ve included the relevant images and the ANSYS project file.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Zoomed in mesh (small pulley and belt)\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/08-05-2024-1715138824-FullAssemblyMesh.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>The small pulley mesh after being placed into the transient structural system^<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Pulley Mesh\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/08-05-2024-1715138921-PulleyMesh.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>Small pulley mesh before copying and pasting mesh settings into the main transient structural system^<\/p>\n<p>I suspect that the only thing causing this to happen is the contact regions somehow.
