Hi,
I need to import a surface from SolidWorks into Patran. The problem is, that the mesher doesn't create conformal nodes on the edges. For some reason Patran creates 5 surfaces, not one.
I tried importing as:
1. Parasolid
2. STEP
3. IGES
I tried to switch the import options...
Hello,
I would like to know, how does one implement a structured mesh on a surface geometry like the one below. When I try to mesh the highlighted part (and most others in this model), Patran says that "the surface is not biparametric so it can't be meshed...", although the surface does have...
Hi,
can anybody point to books, codes, papers etc. that have contact stress graphs of lap joint bearing surfaces in them? (not just joint strengths, factors etc.)
Preferably, with metal bolts connecting plastic laps.
Thanks.
