Eighteen surface bodies will be generated based on automatic face pair detection,
and added to the Structure Tree as shown below. Right click on the Midsurface
in the Structure Tree, and click Hide Others. This will hide the solid body and
display only the created midsurfaces.
Next, click Midsurface-Solid1 in the Structure Tree, and change the Share
Topology to Merge in the bottom left Properties menu to merge all the sur-
faces. Exit SpaceClaim program, and the new model is now ready for subse-
quent simulation with plate or shell elements.
