I have a model like the picture below. I divided " Mid Surface " to the model and then 2D meshed to this " Mid surface ". However, as you can see there are gaps between the Parts in the 2D mesh I just created. The problem is that if I keep assigning thickness to this mesh, will Hyperworks understand that these parts are a unit or does it stay separate from each other after the thickness is assigned.
Besides, after assigning a thickness to the "Mid Surface" grid, there are nodes that are not connected to each other as the locations are circled by blue circles. How does that affect the boundary conditions of the model?
Thank you very much.
