Surface Two dimensional object that has no thickness (as opposed to a face, which is part of a three-dimensional A surface becomes a solid if it encloses volume. B which is completely inside of Solid Object that encloses volume. A is completely inside of Solid Object that encloses volume. For example Surface Two dimensional object that has no thickness (as opposed to a face, which is part of a three-dimensional bodies that are completely inside of volume bodies. B will share topology with Solid Object that encloses volume. A will share topology with Solid Object that encloses volume. For example Solid Object that encloses volume. Volume bodies that are completely inside of other volume bodies.bodies that are intersecting each other (same as Shared) Surface Two dimensional object that has no thickness (as opposed to a face, which is part of a three-dimensional.Bodies that are touching each other (same as Shared).Place any solids, surfaces, beams, or components that you want to share topology into this component.įor ANSYS 15.0 and 16.0, Shared Topology set to Merged applies to the following cases:.Create a component and set the Share Topology property to Merged or Shared in the properties panel of the component.To create a group of parts that share topology

This situation is common in analyses involving fluid flow. Shared topology also applies to volume and surface bodies that are completely inside of other volume or surface bodies. Shared topology is the only way to achieve a conformal mesh where bodies meet, and is the only way to be certain that the intersection of bodies is meshed perfectly. SpaceClaim can share topology (face, edge, and vertex connections) between touching or intersecting bodies and surfaces in designs that are transferred to ANSYS. You are here: SpaceClaim add-ins > ANSYS add-in > Shared topology in ANSYS
