Dear All,
i've exported model composed of many masks from simpleware into ansys. ansys read this model as nodes and elements as it is FE (finite element).and each mask become a component. i've read that i can choose which component to work on by plot->components->by name/set number/entity type.
the problem is that first i couldn't convert these nodes or elements to volume. it only can be keypoints but i can't go further as i read that lines, areas and volumes are solid models, but nodes and elements are FE.
but i worked directly on nodes. my big problem now is that each component has a separate DOF , when i choose the first component and ansys shows only this component on its screen , and try to apply the DOF on this component only by pressing (pick all) or even by specifying a (box) or (polygon), i found this DOF applied on the whole model, not on this component only.
how can i solve this problem???
your reply is really appreciated
Sincerely
