Surface attached to solid - deletion ignored

Altair Forum User

Hi all,

 

I have a model comprised of several components. Each time I worked with Hypermesh I had only components that were surfaces inclosed volumes. Now I have solids. First question, how does that come ? And what is the difference ? I always use the same way to import geometry : import -> geometry -> *.igs.

 

Now my problem is when I want to edit que geometries and among all, delete surfaces. I get this error : 'All 16 selected [surfaces] were attached to solids; deletion ignored'. How come ? And what to do ?

 

Thank you in advance,

Alice

Hi, 

try delete solids first. in panel delete, select entity type 'solids' . you may have to turn next page by '》' button

and, you can optionally tick checkbox 'delete surf' or do it later
