I have terrible trouble using hard points on areas. Typically the meshing fails if there are more than a few points. After repeated attempts with different meshing parameters the model becomes corrupted. One symptom is that it starts creating hundreds of keypoints at 0,0,0 on its own. Also, the...

I did this a while back for denting aircraft skins. If I remember ansys has simple rigid shapes availble for this in the contact module. Other wise you could just create a sphere of dummy elements and then use cerig with the centroid node as the master. If I dig up my old program I could email...

Has anyone figured out how to pass information in parasolids x_t files on material, part number, thickness, etc for areas and solids into ansys?
