Connecting Objects

Use the Modeler> Surface> Connect command to perform the following operations:

• Connect two or more 1D polyline objects. Ansys Electronics Desktop will modify the first polyline you select to be a 2D sheet object that connects to the second and any subsequently selected polylines. The second and subsequent polylines selected are deleted.
• Connect two or more 2D sheet objects. Ansys Electronics Desktop will modify the first 2D object you select to be a 3D solid object that connects to the second and any subsequently selected objects. The second and subsequent objects selected are deleted.

To connect objects:

1. Select the objects you want to connect. Select 3D objects as objects, not as faces.
2. Click Modeler> Surface> Connect.

   A new object is created that connects the objects you selected. The first object you selected was modified to create the new object and all subsequently selected objects were deleted.
