Fuse

Geometry > Body > Connect > Fuse

Dialog Box

This is used to connect the bodies that intersect or penetrate each other.

  • Preserve internal faces

    This toggle will be enabled when two bodies are selected. The internal faces will be preserved when this toggle is ON. The first selected body will be preserved always.

Note:

Fuse supports Tri6 element also. The mid node position will be preserved in the output except along the connection area. It will post a message if there are both Tri3 and Tri6 elements found in the input.

Examples

  • Preserve internal faces = OFF
    Preserve internal faces = OFF
  • Preserve internal faces = ON
