Form Union and Form Assembly Problem with Imported Geometry

Hi,

I am having trouble in forming union and assembly when I import my geometry outside made in Solidworks or Catia.

The problem is that when I use "Form Union": - Error in parameter domain topological analysis.

or for "Form Assembly": - Pairs generated with simplifed method. The standard method failed for the provided repair tolerance.

May these occur because of problematic geometry imported from other software, or do these error indicate a lack in my COMSOL knowledge?

Thanks in advance,

Bera

Depends on a lot of factors; predominantly how complex the geometry is. Have you tried a simpler geometry first to make sure that the import process is working correctly for you ? Do you have the actual model file that we can look at that gives you the problem ? Have you tried tweaking the tolerance levels on the options when you import ?

Hi Jim,

Thanks for reply. The model, in general, does not belong to me so I cannot share it. For better follow-up for other users, however, I want to emphasize two points.

The geometry I have is a basic one, so I do not think the problem is complexity for my case. I assume the export problems may result in problematic surface on my geometry, which is a problem of CAD software. Recently, I created similar geometry in COMSOL and I succeeded to form an assembly out of it.

Second point is that when I adjust the tolerance levels, warnings keep coming for CAD exported geometry. I will make sure the CAD model is right and will post here the results for others who may need so.

Thank you again,

Bera
