Hi,

I am trying to analyse my geometry using the thick model (panel method) and when I use CompGeom I always get disconnected surfaces inside my fuselage. Those are surfaces from the root chord of the wing which shouldn't be there because of wing intersection with the fuselage.
Do you know what could cause this issue?

I am using an XZ symmetry a d I tried all modes and still getting the surfaces inside. I also tried both making all parts independent in the hierarchy and a parent of the fuselage. 
All didn't work.

Even when trying CompGeom with symmetry I still get the disconnected surfaces inside the fuselage.

Thanks in advance!

Nobody can help you without posting your model or at least a screenshot of what you're talking about.
