SW simulation mesh creation failure

Unread post by bdokertur666 »

I have a simulation that cannot create a mesh for some parts.

As you will see in photos these are pipes basically, but whenever SW treats these as beams I have other problems as I don't have standard type joints as these are cut by other parts at the end.

So I converted all of it to solids and also using smaller mesh triangle settings but still, I have missing parts.

Why do you think this might happen and what do you recommend.

As this should be a classified document, I cannot share the SW model but I can only share the screenshots anyway.. :)

If you can also just share how to set up a model before the analysis for me to get used to the proper setup, it would be also helpful.

Thanks in advance..

Try excluding all but one body from the analysis and then mesh. Add bodies back a few at a time until the mesh fails. This may help you figure out what geometry is causing the problem.
