Hello,

I created a CAD file in Creo which was completely solid and then imported to the Ansys workbench but some of the parts are surface and others are still solid. I tried different format like STEP and Parasolid but didn't make change. Any helps would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Amin

Open the Geometry in SpaceClaim and use the Stitch button on the Repair tab to stitch the surfaces back into a Solid.

Hello Peter,
I created a SolidWorks file for a geometry. The geometry for test surface in water tunnel. The created a solid geometry contain chamfered/fillet edges. When I import the SW as iges file to ansys fluent ( I imported the computational domain of the flow in the water tunnel as fluid), it was imported and opened. I made the mesh and running the model without any errors or warning!!!. When I start postprocess, all the chamfered/fillet edges appear as space. Is there any missed step in my imported process?
Any suggestions would be appreciated,
Afaraj

Don't use IGES as a neutral file. It is the second worst file format.
Best file format is Parasolid, second best is STEP as a neutral file between CAD and Workbench to mesh the solid geometry of the fluid domain.

Thanks Peter, Parasolid works fine with my case. I appreciate your help.
Best regards,

I have a similar problem i build a solid structure of wing using variable crosssection and different airfoils and converted it into IGES format but after importing file two sections of my wing is not visible.
