Hi,

 

I have to create many contact pairs for my model.

There are many curvature area, I want to select surface mesh faster as below picture. In HM, I just key in 60-80 deg for feature angle, it can select all.

May I know where I can key in the feature angle in Simlab?

Or any other methods to do this faster?

    Hi,

     

    you can use select adjacent layer option to select the faces based on feature angle.

    You can find this option from, select a face > right click > select adjacent layer. you can also create a group and use that for contact creation. Please refer the video uploaded at https://ftam1.altair.com/message/oUKbzXKlsaPDNqabjKECik
