Hi all,
I am having issues with a hydrostatic analysis I am conducting using ANSYS Structural. My geometry consists of several parts which are all constructed out of surfaces. These surfaces are then interconnected using a variety of mesh connections and contact regions. However when trying to perform the analysis I am receiving many error messages of the following nature:
"The normal of target element 9445 is not consistent with the normal of target element 9717 in real set 108."
All my geometry seem fairly sound so I am unsure as to what I am doing wrong. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Also, does anyone know how I can locate a particular element within my geometry (eg. element 9445 from the above error message)? If I knew where the errors were located I may be able to diagnosis the problem!
Many thanks in advance,
Ian
