Hi,

Does anyone know how to create gap elements around a cylinder which is inserted into another part?

Thank you,

    Hi,

     

    If you want to create gap elements between nodes of two cylinders, best workaround is to use Spot welds>> GAP.

    Hi Prakash, 

    Thank you for the help. But the spot can be either  weld or gap. I can create the spot but I don't know how to use it for the gap elements. 

    I appreciate if you can give me some ideas about how to work with the spot.
