With smallest mesh size set to similar to the import tolerance and a rate of growth of 50 or more, has facilitated apprently unmeshable geometries in some cases. I find can sometimes help, though again I have no reliable procedure.ħ) The use of extreme variation in mesh size. And in some cases I find that Spaceclaim, by performing one repair operation causes other problems - similar to a dog chasing its tail.Ħ) Virtual operations in COMSOL - ignoring edges etc. Although I have not yet found a consistent approach which works reliably. In the picture 2 same step file opened in the solidworks. In the first picture you can see that we cannot see the body. You can find the some screen shots about what problem we have. We don’t have the same problem with native SpaceClaim files.

Similarly to the import tolerance I welcome suggestion as to a procedure to appropriately choose the size.ĥ) Use of repair functions in Spaceclaim. It seems body is loading however we cannot see the body in the structure tree and in the main window.

In preparing CAD models for effective modeling, I have made the following I have found the following to be useful:Ģ) Ticking the three boxes for repair options in the CAD import windowģ) Adjustment of the CAD import tolerance (although I welcome suggestions of science behind this adjustment - thus far I have found no general trend)Ĥ) Use of the repair function selecting all parts of the CAD (incidentally, is there a way to automatically select all parts of the CAD?) and adjusting the tolerance of repair.
