Hello.

I've been having some trouble recently with importing a model into ICEM. I've tried importing a parasolid file from Spaceclaim 2017 into Icem 18. I've tried using the workbench to import it(using connections) I've tried using ICEM standalone(import model -> Spaceclaim).

But for some reason there are always issues when ever I build the topology. Curves get bent, faces get morphed, and gaps are created.

Its not a serious issue but every time I import the model(because of changes done to it) I have to spend 5 hours fixing problems so I loose alot of time.

Here are some examples.

This is the model in spaceclaim:



Here is is imported into ICEM



Again in spaceclaim:



and here it is in ICEM:



I've been battling these problems for more than a month. I appreciate all the help.

Dominique
