From .sim to .prt by face from mesh commande ?

From .sim to .prt by face from mesh commande ?

Hi every one ,
i'm wondering if there is a way to create a part from a simulation ?
I know i can pass from sim to fem but i need to get a prt file to get full access to the UF functions like the type of surface etc..

thank you .

Not that I'm aware of.

RE: From .sim to .prt by face from mesh commande ?

Dear Zmedwael,
The only geometry that you can export is the IDEALIZED "*_fem1_i.prt" file, that is based in the master file *.prt. The geometry in the FEM file is based in POLIGON faces, not proper geometry, then not possible to export, for instance, as parasolid.

If you have a SIM model with only nodes & elements (not geometry) you can import the nastran input deck in FEMAP V11 (another FEA pre/ and postprocessor from SIEMENS PLM) to create surface geometry based in faces of Shell or Solid elements that you can manipulate and update the mesh based in the new geomtry, very powerful!.







Best regards,
Blas.

Thank you BlasMolero and JohnRBaker for the information ,

for BlasMolero , i do the same as you explained , i import a Nastran bulk file to NX then i use the "face from mesh" command to create polygon faces from pshell .
the question is the possibility to pass from polygon faces to just faces (*.prt) , because the editing options are larger when we work in a .prt file like creating midsurfaces and other geometry simplifying tools , even when using NX open journals the program will be more efficient for manipulating operations .

I guess i will try to work with the available options in NX 8.5 .

Thanks again .
