Hello.....

I am working on assembly of components for that i have extracted midsurfaces and completed the 2 D meshing but at few places two plates(Different Thickness) are parallel and connected via welding in actual practice so when i extracted mid surfaces from that plates there was huge gap between that two plates .

So... my question is

How can i do 2D meshing for this two parallel surfaces and provide rigid connectivity ?

Waiting for your reply.......

    Hi,

    Mesh one surface and project matching elements of one surface on to other surface to maintain elements parallel to each other between which rigid elements need to be created.

    Hope this helps..
