I’m new in Cubit (but not in hex meshing with another tolls). In parallel I’m following the tutorials, and in parallel, I’m performing tests to dig into Cubit capabilities, using GUI and command mode.
Derived from the knuckle test case, I noticed a step between 2 surfaces (Id 191 and 198 -see screenshot); I tried to use either “tweak surface” or “tweak curve” to merge the curves 334 and 343), but I’m probably using a wrong way: how to proceed?
(I also tried to use the “Power tools” interface)
reset
open "C:/Users/greg/Downloads/knuckle2.cub5"
del mesh
merge volume all
merge surface 194 189 force
mesh vol all
Note that I chose to force merge the surfaces containing those curves, but you could also force merge the curves individually. Also, this is a “virtual geometry” operation.
Ok I got it: the 2 surfaces (id 194 and 189) are the “common ones” at the interface between the 2 volumes; while 2 edges seem not to be coincident, the mesh itself is fully conform => meaning of the “virtual geometry” i guess
