Put the bodies anywhere under a component that has its Shared Topology property set to Shared (or Merged in ANSYS 15.0 and 16.0), including a sub-assembly (regardless of the sub-assembly's Shared Topology setting). See ANSYS online help for detailed information about how ANSYS handles multi-body parts and shared topology. See the Shared topology tutorial for hands-on experience with shared topology.

The bodies under this node are listed with full path names through the assembly, such as Axle Sub-Assy (Front)\Wheel (Left)\ Solid Object that encloses volume.The name of the component node is the name of the component from which recursive sharing starts.For example, if you set Shared Topology to true for the root component, then the entire model will be one share group.The Shared Topology property of components lower in the structure are ignored, so you can't use them to create sharing exceptions.If a component has the Shared Topology property set to Shared (or Merged in ANSYS 15.0 and 16.0), then that component and all components beneath it become a share group.Not Supported - Cases where volume bodies partially intersect each other or surfaces extending outside of volume bodies.Any combination of the above four cases.A surface becomes a solid if it encloses volume. B will share topology with Solid Object that encloses volume. A will share topology with Solid Object that encloses volume. Surface Two dimensional object that has no thickness (as opposed to a face, which is part of a three-dimensional 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. 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.
