Mtching surfaces

Altair Forum User

How can I produce perfect matching surfaces (red and blue) especially for biological data like at the photo. I wanna use it for a crash simulation. 

 

Thank you very much.

I see you have (Shrink wrap)meshed component.Why you want to get matching surfaces?Your requirement is not clear.Please share more information.

Hey,

 

thank you for you answering. Yes there are two shrinked wrap meshes. And for a further simulation it is necessary to fit the the different surfaces, that they all have the same nodes. Do you know what i mean?

 

If you look at the picture there is a yellow circle with two surfaces. Inned it to match them together. Is it now clearer? 

 

I mean something like equivalence surfaces but for a bigger distance between surfaces, because with these complex shapes equivalence is not the best option. 

 

Thank you very much.

you can create surfaces from FE to surface & use surface offset to get matching surface.

Sorry for the delay but I was very busy with my project and I couldn't find a soluation still for the problem with the matching surfaces. I will attach the two parts and eventually you can help and give me some advises how I can fix it. 

 

These are parts of a tooth dentin and enamel and they are driectly connected to each other, that means for a simulation in hypercrash I need complete fitted surfaces between the two parts that I have no Intersection between them. I already tried the equivalence tool but it didn't work for this structure. Is there eventually another option? 

 

Thanks for your help.
