Shared Topology (ANSYS SpaceClaim)
Automated mesh node alignment for finite element solvers.
Definition
In ANSYS SpaceClaim, Shared Topology represents a core architectural mechanism. An analytical tool that identifies touching faces in assemblies, merging their mesh nodes automatically for structural and CFD analysis.
Why it matters
Mastering Shared Topology is critical for production-grade deliverables. Ensures accurate load and heat transfers in FEA/CFD solvers, preventing disjointed mesh errors.
Common pitfalls
- Failing to configure shared topology tolerance bounds, leaving parts disconnected in solvers.
- Ignoring interference clashes.
This concept is a core structural element of the ANSYS SpaceClaim drafting and engineering environment developed by ANSYS. A high-speed direct 3D modeler built to prepare, clean, and simplify geometry for finite element analysis.
