Dear all,

I am trying to build a volume model from stl images I've got from segmentation. I have the three layers of my domain (internal blood, middle interal wall and external wall). You can see the photo. I need to build a model with two volumes (one defined by the inner and middle surface and the other defined by the middle and outer surface). I am not able to build the volumes (it seems I am not able to build a closed contour defined by surfaces). I am using Ansys Discovery. The three surfaces are patch bodies I have built from the faceted stl images.

Any help about the procedure, or any link to a video will be much appreciated.

Best regards,

Sergio

Hello,

Here are some resources for creating geometry using reverse engineering. Reverse Engineering in Ansys Discovery | Ansys Knowledge

You can search through Geometry | Ansys Knowledge for more such resources or use the Ansys Assistant on this page to search for content. 

If you can be more specific on the issue you are facing in creating the geometry, I will be able to help you better.

I have a few videos that show how to do things with STL files in SpaceClaim.
