CAD Translation & Healing
CAD Translation & Healing
(OP)
I feel like something on this subject was just posted but the eng-tips search feature isn't working so well at the moment. So my apologies if this is a repeat.
We are in desperate need of a process to clean up imported geomety. We are having assemblies bog down big time when geometry from certian vendors is used.
Has anyone had luck with any third party software solutions? Here's a few I've found online:
-3DTRANSVIDIA2011
-CADdoctorEX3.0
-3D Evolution
-TransMagic
Any feedback on these or other suggestions would be much appreciatted. Again, sorry if this has been discussed recently. Just link me the thread.

RE: CAD Translation & Healing
To cleanup and repair a part file, first open the part file and then go to...
File -> Export -> Heal Geometry...
Note that this will export the current file, clean it up, and save it again as a new part file. Also note that this will remove any features or parameters from the model.
For more information about exactly what and how this tool works, when you have the 'Heal Geometry' dialog open, press the 'F1' key and you will have access to the NX Help documentation covering the Heal Geometry utility.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Anyway, I hope this helps clear up what it is that you should expect from the 'Heal Geometry' operation.
