importing solidworks into ansys spaceclaim

Since we are on that, if the faces are not close-enough, that is sometimes what the Simplify tool can do for you, take some currently-spline-but-close-to-simple faces, and replace them with simple faces. These two methods do not recreate the faces, but rather, remove the boundary (provided the face definitions are close enough to allow that) I am trying to import an assembly file from Autodesk inventor 2021 into Spaceclaim 2020R1 but its unable to do so. Strictly-speaking, a 'corrupt' face is not select-able and we try very hard not to make those.Ī much better option is to try to use the Repair>Fix group>Extra edges, or to simply select the cylindrical edges that you see, and delete them.

If you imagine that the face that the algorithm is starting from is planar, and it gets 'warped' down into the best fit to the old surfaces, you can see that the more curved these are, the less able the algorithm is to handle that case nicely. Kkanade said corrupt, but that is the wrong term for what the tool is doing. Moreover, these new things are spline faces (not simple ones: planes, tori, cones, cylinders) and can result in much heavier later operations and calculations. drawing a geometry by importing a table of points Parameters not imported into Workbench 18. Yes, internal edges will be removed, but you have to know that a whole new thing gets made.

When you use a tool like Merge Faces, it is using the existing faces' definition in space, and then ripping out the selected faces, and using their whole boundary to make a new face, as close as possible to the old ones.
