I used the command Curve through XYZ points in Solidworks to draw the curve (see image 1).&lt;br&gt;Next, I converted the curve to a representative sketch using the command Convert entities in SolidWorks (Image 2). Then I drew some lines to make the sketch a closed one (Image 3) and extruded it to make it a solid body (Image 4).&lt;br&gt;The issue is that when I add the step file for this body to Zemax, as soon as I place it in front of the source, I get a &#8216;Geometry error. Run the NSC ray tracing for more info&#8217; message.&lt;br&gt;Any ideas?<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/05-12-2024-1733428568-collage.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-396513","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27816"],"_bbp_topic_id":["396513"],"_bbp_subscription":["445762","490865","50911"],"_bbp_author_ip":["130.75.182.240"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["396761"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["396761"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-12-09 10:50:52"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["1"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_btv_view_count":["297"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_engagement":["445762","50911"]},"test":"arezoo-tahmasebistud-uni-hannover-de"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/396513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/396513\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=396513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
