Point fasteners with holes on 3DX

 

Hi SIMULIA Community

 

I'm exploring the Point Fastener creation of 3DX, and struggle to create fasteners when the surfaces has holes. It works really nice if I remove holes in my geometry, but even in a very simple case of overlapping surfaces when the hole exist in the mesh, I get this message:

Impossible to project spot in connection mesh part Point Fastener Connection Mesh.1.
Maximum projection distance is too small or the spot cannot be projected on all the supports.
2 possible solutions: increase the maximum projection distance OR modify the geometry to enable the projection.

I did try to increase maximum projection distance, with no luck. However removing the hole enables the fastener to be created.

Are holes unsupported for the projection or can someone enlighten me on how to create the fastener?
