Design Modeler Import

      Hallo!

      I have the model of a UAV as an .obj file.
      When i import it to the Design Modeler i get a green tic at the Import1, as shown in the image.
      But whenever i try to create the fluid domain (boolean or enclosure or whatever method) it always fails so i have come to believe its the import that causes the problem.
      I have come to think that it is something to be said in the way DM names my UAV.
      What does the fact that at the " 1 Part, 1 Body " tab it is named with " \Facets " , as shown in the image???

      Thanks a lot!

      Facet name indicates that geometry is Faceted Data. It is like STL file. So it may give errors while performing any operations with that body. It is recomeneded to create geometry from facets and then use it. You can use SpaceClaim for it. 

      You can convert faceted data to solid in SpaceClaim. There are different ways to convert stl to solid.

      The first one is using Right Click on the body in the structure tree and select Convert to solid option. This option is useful for planner surfaces and simple bodies. If your body has some fillets or curved surfaces, this option should not be used.
       
      The other option is using Skin tool. You can find more information about Skin tool in help manual at following link.
       
      In SpaceClaim different commands can be used to create solids from faceted data. Various options are shown in following video.
      Whether you need a rough or accurate construction of a model, or tooling based on mesh-scanned data, Discovery SpaceClaim's easy-to-use reverse engineering tools will autosurface any STL data to get your job done faster. Learn more: https://www.ansys.com/discovery
