14 两个相贯的薄壁圆筒建模,壳单元没有公共节点 Element Connectivity Error, 8-Node Curved Shell Elements In this image, the red stiffener was intended to be welded to the purple pipe. Note that the elements of the red stiffener do not match up with those on the pipe. There is no connection, and the meshing was done independently. This is due to a geometric modeling error by the user (me). There are superimposed curved lines where the interface is located. There should have been a shared line for the connection to have worked. I found this only because of careful examination of the model -- I had already run a stress analysis. What to do about these error concerns? Read and think. Share and listen to ideas and concerns with others. Review your own work, and the work of your co-workers. (Recently an experienced co-worker who does not even do FEA work asked me if I had eliminated the added mass of water in pipes when evaluating shipping loads on a product. I hadn't. Eliminating the added mass got rid of a high-stress problem. These errors are very easy to make.) Be friendly. Communicate with other departments. Have a check list and design reviews. Never use FEA blindly, or believe the results of an analysis without some critical review. Accept a critical review without taking it personally. Develop a good understanding of the intent of the design codes that regulate your work. Consult an expert when it is appropriate. Pay attention to the ethics and standards of your professional association. Choose your employer wisely. (Some of these things you were supposed to have learned in Kindergarten, but life isn't always that simple.) 解决方法:通过volumn建模形成相贯线,该方法建模使面相交处共线,xmesh后有公共nodes
