[Workbench] Apply "Body Transformation" to imported BDF meshing in FE Modeler

So_ ANS · February 9, 2016, 05:34

Hi everyone,

I imported a .bdf mesh into the FE Modeler in order to perform a Structural Analysis with this very same meshing.

The problem is that the Landmark is not how I would like it to be.
I therefore would need to apply a "Body Transformation" to this meshing, such as it possible to do with Geometries into the Design Modeler.

Is there a way to do so on Imported Mesh with the FE Modeler?

Thank you in advance for your precious help.

Body transformation will change your geometry and any geometry changes has to be done in design Modeler.
You cant change geometry in Mesh.
What specifically are you after in body transformation?
You can just import your geometry in DM and use body transformation

Kapi, thank you for your answer.
I perfectly know that transformations on geometries are only possible thanks to the DM, but this is not what I am trying to do.

I only used the example of "Body Transformation" because this is the kind of operation I would like to perform on an imported .bdf meshing into the FE Modeler.
Is there a way to do so?
