thanks priam for your support

but still its not working

when i enter va,all i got following error

"No area defined to create volume"

 

RE: problem with importing catia file

Itsounds like you are just pulling in lines. If you type aplot after you import the step it will show you any areas that are there. If there are no areas you'll have to create them by hand by using the 'al' command.

that means is there any problem in my CAT file????

Wat can be done to amend it

 

RE: problem with importing catia file

I don't know your geometry. either you have a pretty dirty file (crossing lines and ares) or you have only exported lines. what can be done? look at the export option in catia (i don't use it so I am guessing here) try importing as an iges or para solids file.

the same way you exported to igs, just pick parasolid (x_t or x_b) if it's available.
