Shared Topology
Use the tools in the Shared Topology group to prepare bodies for sharing topology.
Use the Overlap Bodies Tool tool to merge bodies so they can be shared. | |
Use the Split Edges Tool tool to detect and merge coincident edges that do not mark the boundaries of new faces. | |
Use the Extra Edges tool as an alternative for merging faces that are tangent or nearly tangent. | |
Use the Simplify tool to examine a design and simplifiy complex faces and curves into planes, cones, cylinders, lines, arcs, etc. | |
Use the Small Faces tool to detect and remove small and sliver faces in your design. | |
Previous/Next | Use the navigation tools to step through all topology identified as shareable. |
Use the Share tool to identify topology that can be shared among bodies in the model. | |
Use the Unshare tool to unshare topologies. | |
Use the Force Share tool to force a connection between Faces and Edges on bodies. | |
Use the View Assembly Structure tool to see how the assembly will appear when transferred downstream to Ansys Workbench. | |
Use the Show Connected Bodies tool to see body-to-body connections. | |
Use these options to choose display options for the connections in your model. |
