<p>Hi! <br>I’m trying to simulate a butt welding in a coupler-tube joint including TAZ. <br><br>When I attempted to create the welded joint, I encountered the error shown in the image. I used edges and faces to define the weld. I also tried the midsurfaces method, but the geometry is quite complex, so it didn’t work in this case.<br>This is the geometry.<br><br><br><br><\/p><p>The butt welding that I need to simulate with a 2mm bevel. <br>Could anyone help me resolve this issue?
