Hi,
I have a frame.par file that contains a 3D sketch of lines representing a car space frame.

I want to export the frame.par to a FE software such as ANSYS for modeling.

I cannot export the frame.par file to another extension such as iges, igs,...etc. An error states that the file contains no solid bodies.

Any suggestions are appreciated
Thanks,
Hesham
 
Hi,
By default, when you export a file as iges, only solid body are exported. But when you have selected your format, you have access to an option menu that enable you to export curve/skecth.
Best regards.

Thank you Sebastian,
However, I have no solid bodies in my file, therefore I am getting an error message and no files are exported.
