CAD import and meshing error

Hi everyone, I am trying to import a .sat file to COMSOL. Even though in the CAD-programme (Rhino) I am able to form a union, it fails in COMSOL. If I simplify my model, so that the union works, the...

Re: CAD import and meshing error

Hi have you checked if ther are small features you do not really see, silver spikes, short edges etc (or holes) Anoter way is to see if you an import your file into a true 3D cad modeller as...

Re: CAD import and meshing error

Hi, I am having similar issues, I create 3D geometries in Inventor uniting together several surfaces so that Inventor itself sees one unique surface; however, whenever I export it as a .sat, .stp or...

Re: CAD import and meshing error

Hi from my understanding, for 3D we sould use correctly bounded volumes (from a CAD system) in 2D it's planar surfaces, something not always that easy to generate, depending on the SW. I generally...

Re: CAD import and meshing error

Hi, It seems relatively similar to some imports I had, but I am not sure I understand why do you import part by part? Can't you complete your design in Rhino and then export it? I usually complete the...

Re: CAD import and meshing error

Hi my advise (i have posted several comments already, and that applies for 3.5 as for 4) is to cut up your complex models into several domains/geometrical objects. Even if this adds interior...

Re: CAD import and meshing error

Hi, Thanks for the advice but I am afraid is quite hands-off. My geometries are relatively simple, however they need some extruding and revolving and those operations cause several surfaces to appear...

Re: CAD import and meshing error

Hi well then we must have been lucky, because so far we mostly manage to mesh directly, even our most complex geometries (>1000 COMSOL objects, or assemblies of several hundred Solidworks parts). I...

Re: CAD import and meshing error

Hi, That is extremely interesting, because you tell me that you use Solidworks (and it is the same kernel for Comsol) but I do not have Solidworks, I have Inventor... One more example: I have a 3D...

Re: CAD import and meshing error

Hey, I have searched about this issue may be this works in solidworks perfectly, I found this solution from www.techmaish.com/how-3d-anima...s-different-from-2d-animation/
