Hello to all.
I'm new in here soI'll make my question clear as possible.
I'm usingCosmosWorks 2007.
I'm trying to mesha 6 part assembly in frequency analysis.
The problem isthat I have two errors that are inconsistent.
- After meshing iscomplete the assembly appears exploded.(pic 3)
- After meshing iscomplete I have a message "mesh and model volumes aresignificantly different" and when I proceed to see themeshed assembly one of the parts is missing .(pic 1-2)
What do yourecommend?
I've had similar problems occur when there was a problem meshing one of the components in the assembly. Try looking for sliver surfaces or small features that would require a very fine mesh in areas. Also, check to see if there is interference between components. If there is, eliminate it. Simplify the model by supressing less important features like fillets, unimportant small features, and features away from high stress areas and retry meshing. Once you have simplifed it enough to get the assembly to mesh properly you can start unsuppressing features and remeshing untill the problem comes back. Also, watch for curved surfaces tangent to flat surfaces. They sometimes cause problems.
If you continue to have problems, zip the assembly up and post it. I'll look at it and see if I can help.
