Removing penetrations

Hello,

 

I seem to have a few penetrations in my model. I have cleared most of it using the automatic penetration fix tool that is provided but a few of them are still remaining. When I display only the failed elements, I am not able to observe any penetration. I have attached an image of the failed elements below. Could you guys please help me with this! Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thank you,

Vishruth Dilip

    Hi vishruthdilip

     

    This is because there are self interference within the same component when you assign thickness. If you have no other penetration between different components then this self penetration can be ignored by un-checking the 'included self interference' check box from the penetration panel.
