<p>Hello everyone,<\/p><p>I have a question about importing geometry from CATIA V6 to SpaceClaim. I need a clean geometry in order to mesh it properly with using watertight geometry workflow. First, I cleaned all small surfaces and gaps in CATIA. Then, I exported the geometry in stp format. When I opened this exported geometry in SpaceClaim, the quality of the surfaces are not good enough. Some of the surfaces have some self-intersections and others have some gaps. These gaps aren’t recognized when I use the “Open-face” feature. To fix it, I need to seperate the problematic surface first then I need to sew it again with using “Sew” feature. Also, I need to divide the self-intersected surfaces into many small surfaces. I want to prevent this problems. How can I import or export the geometry with high quality surfaces without applying these steps.<\/p><p>Thank you. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-397749","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-geometry-clean-up","topic-tag-geometry-import","topic-tag-import-geometry","topic-tag-spaceclaim"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
