shell mesh in cosmosworks

Hello to all,

I'm new with CosmosWorks (v. 7) and I'm looking at shell meshing. How does
one connect two surfaces?

For example, let's say I want to shell-mesh an I-beam (_not_ using
midsurfaces, but simply surfaces). First, I mesh the top-most, bottom-most
and one of the tho vertical faces, but those meshes are not connected. What
would be the right way to do this?

I know that in this case I could use midsurfaces, but when I try to
shell-mesh assemblies, CosmosWorks won't let me use that options.

Thanks to all!

Use split lines to make sure that each adjacent face shares edges. If they
don't the mesh won't match. And sometimes even if they do the mesh won't
match.

One way to mesh an I-Beam is to create a rectangulare extrude, split the top
and bottom faces and put a mid surface or lofted surface between the split
lines. Pick the mid surfaces and the four top and bottom faces to mesh.
