Working with Topography Contours from Civil 3D

mnazzal · May 8, 2010, 11:01

I need to model a dam in ANSYS for thermal analysis as well as dynamic stability. I have a 3D surface for both the dam structure itself and the dam site topography created in AutoCAD Civil 3D version 2010.

Is it possible to import these surfaces directly into Design Modeler ?

At least, I need to import the topography. Meshing the dam itself can be done in Design Modeler. But I'm really not sure how the topography can be created natively within Ansys.

Thanks..

Hi my friend,

I have the same problem, do you find a solution?
