BUT , when the command try to connect longitudinal plates and lateral plates, errors occur. &#8220;The input areas do not meet the conditions required for the AOVL operation&#8230; &#8220;. so i have to use CE command to connect them. any other good solution to connect them? i dont want to use CE. thank you.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;longitudinal plates\uff1a&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/12-12-2024-1734015643-1.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;lateral plates\uff1a&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/12-12-2024-1734015720-2.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;together\uff1a&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/12-12-2024-1734015824-3.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-397290","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-apdl"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27796"],"_bbp_topic_id":["397290"],"_bbp_author_ip":["223.85.220.132"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["405433"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["405433"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2025-01-17 14:44:51"],"_bbp_reply_count":["6"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_engagement":["336639","88","50680"],"_btv_view_count":["208"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_subscription":["88","336639","50680"]},"test":"1627380717qq-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/397290","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\/397290\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=397290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
