[ICEM] Extract curve from part

Nat Sam · May 18, 2016, 11:17

Hi everyone

I'm meshing a blade on Ansys ICEM. I need to extract the curves of my part so I can associate my blocking's edges to the part's curves. How can I do this ?

Hi Nat, is your part only made up of surfaces? If you only have surfaces to work with, one option is to use "Extract curves from Surfaces" command in the Create/Modify Curves menu. For my example case, it only extracted curves when I checked the option "Create New" under "Extract Edges".

Hope that helps!!

Hi niablis

I believe I only have surfaces yes. I imported a file.tin. Is that only a surface ?
I will try following your instructions. Thankyou so much !
