How can i embed a 2D object into 3D

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I have a cylindrical block and wanrt to insert a flat contact on top.

so i created the flat contact in workplanes, but i cant find the way to embed it into the 3D feature.

Any help.

Regards-LINDA!

What do you mean by '3D feature'?

If done correctly you can just add boundary or edge conditions to the 2D workplane created in a 3D model.

Hi,

A 2D geometry object in a work plane is automatically inserted (embedded) as a 2D object in the 3D geometry when you build the final geometry (unless you first extrude or revolve it into a 3D object).

Hi there

I understand that the 2D object is automatically embedded into a 3D geometry, but how can I assign a physics to this embedded 2D object? In my case, I am using 4.0, and I could not see the 2D object i.e. circle, therein I could not assign any physics to it. Kindly advise. Many thanks!
