    Looking for help with Solidworks

    Unfortunately the equations are complex and are not in closed form (i.e. you cannot write z = x * y or something similar). We already tried to simplify them but no software other than a math-type software would process them... CorBlimeyLimey -- the file should open ok...it works fine on this...

    Looking for help with Solidworks

    Sorry, if you use the 3D Scan tool (add-on) in SolidWorks and you import the file it will be ok (import as meters). Here are the first three lines of the file (this xyz file is contained in the zip file attached in my post from 16 Aug 11 12:06 Lines in the file: 0,0.1,-0.18297...

    The file is generated using exact data points from a math software; so it shouldn't be errors in the data; it should be exact -- do you think this may be a problem? Thanks!

    Looking for help with Solidworks

    Sure -- this is a reflector for a dish-type antenna, nothing unique but it's generated as an exact point cloud from a math program -- it's not a reverse engineered system (this can be seen from the huge point cloud file). Anybody who can help? Or help me step by step... Thanks!

    ...and the points file (unzip it to get xyz text file)http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=11a81337-a7ab-4904-96d0-362b38e62d72&file=elliptical_surface.zip

    Looking for help with Solidworks

    Here's what I was able to get in SW 2011 -- note the file is a little large (48 Mb): http://www.4shared.com/file/PMOq9Psu/exact_mesh.html I'm attaching what I would like the end result to be and the point file (zip file). Any thoughts? Thank...

    Looking for help with Solidworks

    I got to the point that I import it and create a mesh surface; once I try to solidify it using the wizard it creates a surface. I try to thicken it but it gives some form of errors (registration?). This would imply to me that I'm doing something wrong or there is some non-exact simplification...

    Looking for help with Solidworks

    Chris -- I obviously have gone through this and it wasn't really that easy of a learning curve -- hence my posting here. To answer the other points: (1) -- the program used for concept was mathematica, it plots very complex equations and generates surfaces; (2) -- using the program from (1)...

    Looking for help with Solidworks

    Hello, I am helping a friend of mine convert a file for manufacturing; I've not worked with SolidWorks before (other than opening files/etc.) but I need somebody to help us with a simple job: (1) we have a general concept drawing made up of a part (this is not in solidworks); (2) we have a...
