Combine bodies failures

rickhenson — Fri, 14 Oct 2022 01:47:45 GMT

Hi, I am experiencing difficulty with a particular "Combine Bodies". There appears to be no errors in the underlying sketches or the bodies themselves. No matter what I try I cannot join, cut or intersect. I have attached the file and I'm trying to combine the body "Moose V11R" with any of the bodies in the "Frames R" bodies group. I have tried everything I can think of to counter the error messages that appear but no love.

HI John,
couldn't see any attached models. What did you do to fix this?

Thanks
Rick

Sorry, the model did not attach. The bodies were not touching each other.

Thanks John,
how were you able to determine the bodies weren't touching. I ran a section analysis and it looked good.

The bodies would not combine so I suspected they were not touching, at least all over the bodies surface. To make the contact necessary, simply scale one of the bodies by a minimal amount. I used a scale ratio of 1.001 which is undetectable. If this answers your question, please remember to select the Accept Solution icon on my post. If you have further questions, please ask.
