2D Geometry from Pro/E to ANSYS/EMAG

2D Geometry from Pro/E to ANSYS/EMAG

2D Geometry from Pro/E to ANSYS/EMAG

(OP)
first of all, sorry for my english.

I want to simulate a synchronous generator as 2D model. I would like to export a 2D geometry from Pro/E to ANSYS Multiphysics. the way i do it is that a create a new part file, then i do a sketch. when i create the sketch in Pro/e, i save it in IGES format. But when i import it into ANSYS it displays nothing in the workspace. i tried with a 3D geometry modeled in Pro/e, it works very well.

My gol is to create the 2D generator model in Pro/e and then import it in ANSYS/EMAG.

Can you help me please ?    

RE: 2D Geometry from Pro/E to ANSYS/EMAG

Try creating a solid model in Pro/E. Then, make sure that when you export your model out of Pro/E that you choose the correct export option. In your case it should be SHELL/SURFACE.

It works ! in fact, when you create a sketch in Pro/e you have to transform it into a surface by the use of the fonction "Style". then you define the contour of the surface you want to create, and you save it in IGES format or PART format. Both works good.

thank you for your help.

sidartta,

Use Edit Fill option in Pro/E, fill all the sketches and export. Make sure that each sketch should have a complete loop.
