Slicing can be done in CAD, but there is no option for share topology to ensure a conformal mesh is created  Mesh match cannot be used to match meshes between different bodies  This solution will give general advice on matching meshes between different bodies, with the aim of using node merge to connect the meshes  Please see .pdf attached for more details. <\/p>\n<p>Attachments:<br \/>\n1. <a href=https:\/\/ansys13.ansys.com\/KnowledgeArticles\/Phase-3\/2044138\/2044138.pdf>2044138.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-179370","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-fluid-dynamics","topic-tag-general","topic-tag-meshing"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"siebel_km_number":["2044138"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["8\/25\/2023 20:20"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27796"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.56.168.180"],"application_name":["Meshing"],"family":["Fluid Dynamics"],"km_published_date":["2016-10-17T00:00:00.000Z"],"product_version":[""],"_btv_view_count":["4874"]},"test":"solution"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/179370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/179370\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
