I'm trying to transfer a force, which is applied to a keypoint, to a FE model in ANSYS. Everytime I try to do so, I get a message saying "Force at unmeshed keypoint not transferred." Does anyone know why this is the case?
Your finite element model is not "connected" or referenced to the solid model. Somehow you did not mesh the line, area or volume correctly, or you manually created elements and nodes inside the solid model.
Thanks for your reply. I'm trying to get away from applying the load to nodes, as I wish to undertake a mesh study and therefore each time the "node" position will change.
Therefore to expand on your second comment...at the moment I am meshing areas, within which the keypoint is located. Do I need to mesh keypoints independently of areas?
