For users of ANSYS 15.0, please check this link for procedures for turning on the Auto Constraint feature before creating sketches in DesignModeler. |
For this problem, we are going to import the geometry into ANSYS, which was designed using CAD software.

We can now survey the imported geometry by double clicking
Internal Components
The internal components of this satellite have been simplified to reduce modal analysis run time. While this CubeSat structure is simple, larger satellites often have a more complex interior with a wide array of components and structural stiffeners. Features such as small extrusions, fillets not in contact with the frame and holes may be omitted to reduce the computational load of the simulation.

Because the walls are not physically bonded to each other, we must suppress every wall-to-wall connection. While holding the Ctrl key, select every wall-to-wall connection. There should be 12 wall-to-wall connections. Right click the selection > Supress.
