Hi Xiao,

I haven’t had any problem with meshes larger than that. Do you have enough memory on your machine? What is the crash message? Which version of Sofa are you using?

Cheers!

Hi Hugo,

You nailed it, I had a problem in my mapping’s applyJT where I was overwriting the output value instead of adding to it, therefore overwriting my ForceField’s contribution. The overall simulation still ran with an explicit solver, albeit with no internal forces, and with a heavy dose of wishful thinking I assumed it worked fine..

I have got it working now, thank you!

Hi Olivier,

I would love to, though I couldn’t find a private message option on the forums. You can hit me on my email bassamjabbour_at_gmail_dot_com.

Cheers!

Hi Hugo and Jean-Nicolas!

Thank you for your advice, using two MechanicalObjects with a mapping seems like the better way. I will have a look at SubsetMapping and update this thread when I get it working, for the record.

Best,

Hi Hugo,
Thank you for your response and all the great work on SOFA!

I had indeed already found the post you mentioned and used a similar method for my model, but my question is more general. I am trying to ‘fuse’/’glue’ two meshes with different properties along a contact surface, without having to manually specify each attach pair using AttachConstraint (for example using a nearest neighbor algorithm). Any idea how I might accomplish that?

I am still learning to use the framework, any suggestion would be very helpful.

Thanks!
