SW2014, W10, x64 So I have a sphere & a square cross section extrude, they are not merged. I cut the sphere from the box & that works. Now I try it the pther way around & nothing the combine toolbox stays open & nothing happens. See pic below.. Any clue what's going on here?

Yeah seconded nice find! Just got to convince the boss to get one to play with now :D

Have been using a Rasberry Pi 3 for a a computer vision project but the lag on the video playback from the camera is just too painful. I was wondering if anybody with any experience in this field could point me towards a decent development board or some other embedded solution. Ideally it...

I have a thin walled cylinder the mesh for which is calculated else where (for arcane reasons that dont impinge on the thread :D ) If I import this into CAE how can I mesh the hollow inside the cylinder?

FE is very mesh dependent. From the pictures I'd say the 2nd mesh would give higher accuracy but that's just a qualitative assessment.

Not enough information. What does your Python code look like?

Try it without 'STATUS' and see what happens.

You will need to know the changes in cross section to calculate true stress.

Seems like a really fundamental feature to edit element properties, weird.

I have a mesh that was imported from Abaqus but the beam cross section data is missing. As a result the structural model omits the beam elements. How do I access the beam cross section data in Ansys? I cant find any way to do it in the FE Modeler, Mechanical Model or Mesh modules so far

Have attached the file, many thanks Mustaine3https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=eced2fa8-070e-4138-851c-85d73f9391cd&file=Netting.inp

Not sure what you mean but the *.inp creator only outputs beam elements. I'm trying to trouble shoot an import error. In the picture below on the left is the mesh geometry created in FreeCAD & on the right is what happens when I import into CAE. As you can see a kink has been introduced...

I have imported an *inp file created in FreeCAD into CAE. I then queried one of the elements to get the nodal connectivity but the element numbering is offset in CAE from th enumbering in the *.inp file, see pic. Anyone know why this would happen?

ANSYS 17.1 I have imported an Abaqus beam mesh via the FE Modeller component but I cant select any of the nodes or elements in the graphics window.

Do you have sufficient Admin rights for Abaqus to write to its working directory?

I suggest you you make a small model (say a cube) with a few elements in CAE. Then do your assigning of elements with different materials all through CAE's GUI. Finally save the file eg cube.cae. Now go to where the CAE file is saved & you will see a file with the same name but a .jnl...

Is it a parallel job?

YessssssssssssSSSSSSSSssssssss that was it!!! Thanks Mustaine3

Ahh think that might be the issue? Will change the element type later & find out.

I have a 2D shell mesh reconstructed from a *.ply file. When I verify the mesh I get 55% errors in the elements (CPS3). So I get a list of all the bad elements & reconstruct the mesh again with the nodes rearranged in the bad elements. Now down to just 16 bad elements (~1.5%). if node...
