    Direct Mesh Referencing - can you measure point-to-point

    I'm currently working with an STL mesh generated from CT scans, and have programmed some automoation into SW to make 3D measurements easier. However, I cannot find a way to clip to areas within an STL triangle that I click on. The points/lines/measure tool always clips to a vertex. Right...

    Solidworks API - Creating Planes and Resources

    A couple questions for the experts: 1) is there a good snippet of code to automatically create planes using the VBA API from an equation? Currently I've calculated a plane of best fit base on a surface of the model, and I would like to create some planes to assist with future measurements...

    3D Point Cloud or STL Measurement - Any Toolboxes Available?

    Are there any toolboxes available to assist with 3D measurements of STL or Point Cloud date files? I have a 3D reconstructed surface of a medical image and would like to automate a process to make measurements. Thanks, Scat

    Contacts: Shared Nodes vs. Unshared Nodes: How to Change?

    I'm trying to set up shared nodes between *some* of my parts in ANSYS ICEM before importing the mesh into ANSYS multiphysics for structural analysis. Currently, I have meshed all my parts (conformal meshing?), which consist of volumetric tets and triangular shell elements. 1) How do I tell if...

    ANSYS ICEM CFD export to ANSYS FEA

    I've grown fond of the meshing capabilities in ANSYS ICEM (workbench GUI), but I would like to transfer the mesh to ANSYS simulator or ANSYS Classis/traditional for structural FEA. For a 2D/Shell test model I've tried creating an output batch file for ANSYS, but I cannot seem to open it in...

    ANSYS ICEM CFD ERROR:

    Hi, I am trying to use/learn the blocking features of ANSYS ICEM CFD, but while working through the tutorials I am coming up with different 'errors': e.g. in the 2D pipe tutorialfor hexa meshing, while on the 'split blocking' step I am getting the following error without the block splitting...

    ANSYS: Middle Mouse Button

    Quick Question: IS there any way to remap the middle mouse button to alternate buttons? (e.g. if I have a 2-button mouse, can I make a ctrl+right-click the middle button=accept command?) Tx
