Reverse Engineering in Ansys Discovery

Reverse engineering is an important process that helps engineers recreate existing designs or replace parts that are impossible or hard to find. Through 3D scans, engineers can get a digital version of the product or part in question. But often those scans are either incomplete or have geometry errors. The next step of the process is to use Ansys Discovery™ software to turn that STL mesh file into a workable solid geometry. In this course, we will learn about the STL facet cleanup tools as well as the reverse engineering tools in Discovery software. The course will conclude with a demonstration of how to reverse-engineer a product part from start to finish.
