      As seen in the title of this post for whatever reason ansys mechnaical's "create automatic connections" function is not working. When I click the option no connections are generated, even though i do in fact what edgeds and faces that should be given an automatic connection. Does anyone know why this could be happening?

      Hi Damian,

      Can you share a screenshot of the model and settings used for automatic contact generation? Also, check if you have used share topology in SpaceClaim.

      Thanks,

      Hi Damian,

      If you have share topology at all the locations then it won't create contacts for those locations as it will create a conformal mesh. 

      Thanks,
