FE analysis of iges files
FE analysis of iges files
(OP)
Does anyone know if it possible to do FEA analysis on an imported IGES file??
Im using V5R6 and it doesnt seem to want to mesh using generative structural design - i can use the advanced surfaces to mesh one surface at a time but when i go to perform an analysis it doesnt recognise any loads or fixed points.
Maybe im doing something wrong - if anyone could enlighten me id much appreciate it

Did you use the external view? You need to have an external view to mesh a surface. I think you can find it in Generative Shape Design, somewhere in 'View'...
