STP CONVERSION FROM CATIA TO NX (FACE ERRPR) - NX8 3

[CAD2015]

Good morning,

I have imported from Catia in NX a stp file from a solid.
The conversion looks strange.......The solid has face/s that is not shown!
I do not get it!
Could you find what the problem is?
Thanks

There's something curious: If you try to delete (synchronous modeling – delete face) the area where the faces are missing, the face would appear!!!!!!

Do a File -> Export -> Heal Geometry. That will fix the problem.

extract the faces of the whole body as single face, and you see were nx has problems with catia geometry - pls contact gtac

If you have a look at the original model you supplied and run Analysis - Examine Geometry on it, you will find NX reports both Self intersections and consistency problems.
One of the faces is a "Non manifold" condition which NX/ Parasolid don't like but which the Heal geometry cures.

Toost, you're suggesting me to use the File→ Export→ Heal Geometry, right?

MZ7DYJ

 

[Toost]

Yes, the file- export - heal geometry , - that you already have used
what i am saying is that one face of the imported body is "corrupt", selfintersecting. Probably due to that Catia and Parasolids handles "special cases" differently.

OK, I got it.
Thanks a gain!
