Deleting vertices and splines or exporting just surfaces

Deleting vertices and splines or exporting just surfaces

Deleting vertices and splines or exporting just surfaces

(OP)
Hi everybody,

I am working with Wireframe & Surface Design, and I have a doubt about exporting my geometry. I created some points which were used to create some splines, and these to get some surfaces. Then I export my resulting geometry (I don't want a body, just these surfaces), but the problem is that all vertices and splines are also exported, so when I open my geometry in other software(Gambit from Fluent) I have thousands of points and splines that I don't need anymore!!

If I try to delete in CATIA these points, the splines are modified/deleted. So is there any way to export just my surfaces or to delete that auxiliar elements without modifying my final geometry?

Thanks in advance,

/L3munoz

L3munoz,
What format are you exporting? Have you tried putting your points and splines into no/show before trying to export? In options, you can choose export only visible entities.

Good luck,

Thanks a lot NCluser, you r right, it works!! but one more question. is there any way to give a name to the surfaces in order lately, in the importation in the other software, to have these names?
