- new "centerOfMass" constraint. (join to faces by it's centers)
would not be "centerOfFace" a the better name for it?
hi @herbk
the constraint is based on center of mass... it could even be improved using closed edges as addition...
moreover think of a face with an asymmetric hole ... which is its center? the center of mass is the right candidate imo.

I have used the OpenCascade function CenterOfMass for getting the center of mass of a face (this is a very precise function) ...
"create simple shape" seems not to carry out a solid. Could you check out that?
Something that not be a solid cannot become a consistent mesh for FEM.
thanks.

You need to create a new file saved i.e. as 'Assy1' and then import your 'SizeNotFollow' file as an a2p part inside it. This will create a link object to your original file.
ok, but if several parts are handled with a spreadsheet, how can do?

this should be solved in this PR
you can play also with the A2p preference 'use solid union for importing parts and subassemblies (experimental)' to get all solid or just the solid of the shells.
