So far I have been using the geometry provided in one of the Forte tutorials, however, I would also like to use engine geometries of my own creation.<\/p>\n

I have tried to create a geometry in Catia V5 and import it to Forte in many different ways, but none of them worked. When I export the engine from Catia as an STL file, it makes it into one lump, even though there are many different parts in there. If I export all the different parts, Forte says the resulting structure is not water-tight. I tried doing it through SpaceClaim, but this gave the same problem; it's not water\/air tight. <\/p>\n

My question is thus; How do I create my own geometry and import it into Forte? I have scoured the internet for an answer, but I can not find anyone who has been able to do this. The manual is not helpful at all on this subject. How where the tutorial files created?<\/p>\n

Kind regards,<\/p>\n
