Hi,

I am modeling fatigue circular crack evolution on ANSYS but I have a problem in the geometry. For some values of crack dimension the VGLUE is done without any problem but for other values it gives me an error asking to change BTOL? It's purley randomic. The geometri was done in ANSYS.

1. Does anyone know another away to glue volumes?

2. If not. Does anyone know how to use correcty BTOL?

Thanks a lot!
