Hi all,
I'm trying to do some fluid-structure coupled analysis using Solidworks Simulation and Flow Simulation. To do so, I need to be able to save the deformed body resulting from the simulation to use it in Flow Simulation. However, when I try to do so I get the error: "Unable to sew faces together. Creation of deformed body failed." Does someone know how to fix this?
Are there some general rules to which the geometry must hold in order to be able to save the deformed body?
Thanks and regards,
i think there are a couple of articles about this in the solidworks kb
but most commonly the problems that i've sene with this:
1. mesh too coarse or mesh too fine
2. the loading conditions creates a lot of deformation which makes it difficult to sew them together
3. soft springs or similar enabled to run the analysis. result is bad results. which makes it impossible to sew together.
i would make sure your model can export with a simple gravity load and fixture. and then go from there.
