proE to CFX

October 22, 2003, 23:46

I'm doing a thesis about HVAC. Then I have modeled an office by using pro-e. Now I don't know how to convert the model to the cfx5.6.1 to start a meshing and so on.

You can export an IGES file from Pro/E to CFX or have a direct Cad interface (I think you have to pay for such an additional feature). Iges format works for us and it's free

If you have acess to 5.6, have you considered CAD2MESH? It is a new offering from ANSYS, you can have a direct interface to PRO/E...

I used CFX5.6 but I can't interface CFX with ProE because this function is not included with the license.So I have converted my proE model into iges format.After that, when I imported the IGES model into CFX build, I can't do meshing.

Hi sya,

When you import .iges files, basically no volume element is imported. You have to build Solid in CFX-Build using the imported surfaces.

Cheers,
