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

    ^bump? Any ideas?

    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

    Since it doesn't look like too many people use ANSYS ICEM CFD for meshing, let me explain my *temporary* solution: Export the mesh to ANSYS as a .ini file w/material properties set However, this sometimes causes files that hang on import through ANSYS classic, especially with SHELL elements...

    ANSYS: Middle Mouse Button

    ^that and I have a roaming license that I use on my laptop, which has a middle button that I can use to scroll, but it doesn't work as a middle button in ANSYS :) Although it would be good if all CAD/FEA/CFD software followed the same 'navigation standards,' it would be even better if their...

    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:

    Hmmm... I consistently get this error when I try the 'screen select' feature, but it works when I use absolute/relative values... Probably a glitch with the GUI.

    ANSYS: Middle Mouse Button

    Well, I have read that the scroll button (if pressable) can be used as a middle button, but right now it just zooms in when I click it.

    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
