Hello,

attached you'll find my model. I would like to attach the 4 lines to the circle on the one side of my model. Any ideas how to do that?

My previous attemps:

- I tried geom>nodes> on geometry already, put nodes on the end Point of the 4 lines and on the circle and tried to connect both.
However, Hypermesh won't place the nodes right on the geometry itself but a little offset. Therefore whenever I try to create a surf and subsequently a solid of the 4 lines and the circle,
I would end up getting an error.

- geom>line edit> Combine or extend line.  I get Errors when I try to connect the lines to the circle, as Hypermesh doesn't know to connect both. It probably needs nodes to connect
properly.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Niclas

    Well there's still a gap between the circle and the line. It's basically the same result I got by using the 'nodes>on geometry' method described above.
    Is there no way to really connect both lines without a gap in between?

    Hi Niclas,

    You can try by creating nodes at the end of each lines and project the same on to the circle and create the line between two nodes.

    Please try this workaround.

    How would you create nodes on the end of each line? By Nodes>on geometry?

    Hi @Niclas_emi

     

    The simplest method which comes in my mind is to use Extract nodes on line in Create nodes panel.

    Thanks for your answers! I solved the issue another way in the end, which didn't include solving my initial Problem mentioned above. Although I think
    your way would work @Prakash Pagadala. Thanks!
