I am waiting for somebody to reply for a couple of days. So if exporting from 3d studio max to SolidWorks is possible, then it has to be much easier to export from Rhino to SolidWorks, right? So I guess they had to to export the 3d model from 3d Studio Max to SolidWorks.ģd studio max is not a NURBS modelling application, in contrary to Rhinoceros, which is. He created the 3d model of new Maserati in 3d Studio Max, and then the Engineers did the air pressure analysis in SolidWorks Flow Simulation.

I saw a tv show on National Geography about the designer from Maserati. Take a look:ĭid anybody else have any similar experiences with export of Rhino to SolidWorks? But then the blue selection color is appearing as close as you zoom in the project. But NOT BEFORE I SOLVE the Flow Simulation.Īgain a new problem emerges - the pressure results in the Surface plots, can not be seen unless you click on those furfaces. Later on I can choose this surface as one of the others in the Surface plots. When I not choose it as one of the "Surface goals" then the Flow Simulation solves without the problems. Then after more hours and testing, I found out that the problem lies in my two curved surface. I tried to search for the soulution in here, but all I got was some tip about adding the "Fluid Subdomain" and the above error message will vanish. Please check geometry or boundary conditions." "There is no fluid volume in the project. When I finally made it to convert all surfaces to solids, then I Created a new Flow simulation project, set general settings, initial mesh, surface goals, went to Solve->Run, and was finally excited that I will get my results, a new dissapointment emerged:
It has something to do with the order by which I thicken them, and by the values (in milimeters). "The surfaces could not be extruded/thickened" and similar.Īfter couple of hours I succeeded in thickening all of them. But there comes the headacke: probably because those are not SolidWorks surfaces, but imported ones, I simply can not Extrude or Thicken them. Because of that, I had to use the "Extrude" and "Thicken" commands to convert my surfaces to solids. With it, I succeded to import my 3d Rhino model into Solid Works.Īgain a new headacke begins: As I read somewhere on this forum, Flow Simulation requires all entities to be solid, not surfaces. igs export from Rhino gives best results.
But even those that can be opened, can not be used in Flow Simulation, which is my goal (importing my 3d model from Rhino to SolidWorks for wind pressure analysis).įinally after today I saw that. Some of above mentioned extensions can be opened in the SolidWorks, some not.

I even tried the trial plugin "3ds to SolidWorks" I tried to export my model from Rhino to. I spent almost three days in trying to import my 3d model from Rhinoceros to SolidWorks Flow simulation for wind pressure analysis of my curved roof.įirst I experimented with the export extensions.
