Good afternoon,

 

I'm trying to mesh a housing and I wanna model parts of it with SHELLS and others with SOLIDS. How do I connect both?

 

Thanks!

    Hi,

     

    there are many techniques to connect shell and solid elements:

     

    -using rigid elements
    -inserting a layer of shell elements inside solid elements
    -inserting a layer of shell elements on the face of solid elements
