Merge Duplicated Meshes with Pressure Loads

Hi, 

 

I am looking for a solution or an alternative solution to my question. 

 

Question: 

I have two identical meshes in my model. Each mesh has a set of pressure loads associated with it. 

Mesh 1 ---> Pressure load Set 1

Mesh 2 ---> Pressure load Set 2

 

Load Set 1 and Load Set 2 have pressure applied in the same location but different magnitude. 

 

I would like to keep one Mesh, e.g. Mesh 1 and have Load Set 1 and Load Set 2 applied to Mesh 1 only. 

 

Is there an easy way to do this HM? 

 

I have tried 'Tool --> edges --> equivalence' and 'Tool --> faces --> equivalence' approaches which merge the nodes to one set but not the elements. So that Mesh 1 is still tied to Load

Set 1 and Mesh 2 is still tied to Load Set 2. Perhaps I am not doing the process correctly, but any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    • Remove Mesh2 from your model
    • Create Pressure 2 on Mesh 1

    Thanks Q.Nguyen-Dai for the response. 

     

    I probably should have stated that the pressures are imported from bdf file and are not created in HM.

     

    The only solution I found was by editing the solver deck. I just was wondering if there was a easy way to do with the HM user interface.

    If you can share the model, I'll have a look at it.
