Importing CATIA V5 data into ccm+
Hello,
Do anyone know how to import CATIA v5 data into STARCCM+ ? In the manual it is stated to download a reader module for CATIA v5 but i dont get it anywhere. When i import CATIA V5 or any CAD data into starccm+, does the feature lines and curves are already created ?? |
For a "direct" use of CCM under Catia you need StarCAT (ask your support - when you have ;) ).
With this "tool" you can make simple simulations with CCM. For the first try's that's okay. When you made the tutorial under Catia you should create STL/STEP/IGES or a other format files and this files you can import in CCM. Create the boundarys is quiet good explained in the manual (I think there was a tutorial for this). Think you need a "negativ" body, your simulation needs the body where the flow is in to make a calculation. With Catia you can use the boolean operators to create this body, very fast, maybe very dirty but works good. |
Maddin,I undertstand your method. What about using Import surface mesh. i have a option here to import CATIA v5 parts. Can i use this ? At the moment its not working for me.
My interest is to import a catia part and just surface mesh it.so i think this method will appropriate. What do you think ? |
In my CCM the Catia parts don't worked... I tried R15,R16 and R18 with my CCM 3.02.006 (or was it 3.06.002 I don't know...).

You need a third party license to import catia parts directly to StarCCM+. Contact your agent suport.
|
Yeah but could somebody use this successfully?
|
Of course, it works. After you purchase the CATIA native reader license from CD-adapco and install some extra libraries, it works perfectly.
|
Hmm I always got an error.
|
me tooo
i got error too (Return code 104)
did you solve this? tnx new usr :) |
If you actually have the extra license to import native CAD, the error can be caused by using a 64bit system.
I was also getting an error on my 64bit system trying to import a SolidWorks part file. But, when I tried it on a 32bit system, I didn't get any errors. |
32 bit....i'm sure....not wrking:confused:
|
when i was importing from CATIA V5 to Star CCM+, i have no problem. Maybe this will help.
In CATIA V5 you save the part with : Save As > NamePart.CATPart and also you have to Save with differece extension. Save As > Open the file type > Find .stp > NamePart.stp When you are in Star CCM+, import it with : Import > Import Surface > Open the NamePart.stp one and done, you have your geometry in star ccm+ But i haven't tried to import the Assembly Parts in CATIA, have anyone try it? If you have please let me know. Thanks |
