Solidworks + CFX - Mesh
 

Hello,

What is the best form os defining regions in a solidworks drawing?

What im trying to do is the same commando as the Extrude-> Imprint Face of the Design Modeler but i cant find a similar command in Solidworks? Anyone can help me?

Thanks

you dont find the extrude operation in solidworks?

yes, but in solidworks, extrude only add or remove material. The option Imprint Faces is not avaliable. There is a feature that creates a surface from a sketch, but if you use it, cfx-mesh cant open the geometry file :(

In fact, many people i know use extrude with 1mm depth, only to demarcate a region, but this gives too much problem with the mesh, bcause mesh will be to refined in that region and i wanted just a roght mesh

ohh i see ,sorry man i didint use desing modeler, just for combine solid bodies and make it one before enter to the cfx-mesh. and i understend very well thats extruction of 1mm..i have in my model 832 louvers(in a can combustor) with only 3mm!..my mesh its of 1.7millions of elements :(

but you want to create a surface? frome a sketch? solidworks has that operation..go to Insert->surface-> and then you have allot of options to create a surface.

do you have any experience with cfx-mesh? im really having a problem with the mesh.

best regards:D

ohhh...if you use the surface operation in solidworks, cfx-mesh cant open the geometry?:eek:

No, cfx-mesh wont read the geometry if you use surface operations in solidwokrs. I found that split line can do this, but slip line command cant be patterned!
