Is there a way to rapidly correct a bad mesh?
I was simulating a part where a imprinted 2d elements between two components (fist and second photo) and one of the meshs presented bad elements after I imprinted them (third photo). I'm using the "replace" tool in the edit elements function of the 2d tab, but it takes a long time to correct this, is there a faster way to…

Static Loa Analysis Event Fsae
Hello, I have been trying to get the static load analysis to work as both the vehicle tools event and task wizard event, I can't figure out how to find the meta file to export the data or how to change the parameters on the vehicle tools event case. If i could get a video of someone doing it that would be great.

FSAE Rear Rockers
Hello, my FSAE team is trying to simulate a push rocker system in the rear. What would be the best way to make this because the wizard only generates a pull system for the rear and won't let me not generate steering for the front so I can't use that as the front
