Hello,
I've created a part in SolidWorks, and I would like to import it to the DesignModeler for Fluent Analysis. The problem: DesignModeler has an issue with surfaces and the whole body is a surface. How do i fix this? Thank you very much guys, This Forum is awesome! |

Solidworks is capable of making a solid... But I have not used SW since 2008 and I am not enough of a Solidworks expert to tell you what you are doing wrong.
Once in DM, you can use the "Sew" tool to sew surfaces together into a Solid. It is probably not as good as figuring out your Solidworks issue, but it will get you going. I am guessing that if your SW model is surfaces in SW, you could probably find an equivalent command to turn that into a solid. |
