Parts refusing to bond

Sam Molony Jun 23, 2015 8:19 AM

Hi all,

I'm trying to bond two components, one of which contains a swept cut creating channels through the part and another which is a sweep of the same geometry. I need to bond these as two separate components with different material properties.

Using a global contact for bonding seems to be ignored, the results can be seen below and the assembly is attached:

You can see how the swept part is coming through the main component, so it cannot be bonded.

A solution/ advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Try making a contact set by selecting the component(s) and bonding them. I've seen SW accept that when global doesn't 'take'.

  Thanks for the response, although I've tried making a contact set to no avail.

    Seemed to work fine for me. You will need to select the faces all along the tube and hollow section. Not sure if there's an option to select bodies.

      Thanks for the response,
      
      Could you send the file? Alternatively how did you select the inner faces?

        I only selected a few to test it so you'll need to select the rest. All faces in contact basically.
        
        I selected the inner faces by right clicking the fibre and choosing "select other" and the inner face was the next to choose under my mouse.
