mmccall Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 (edited) If you are running an analysis from within IC... and you are having problems with Algor completing the mesh, or a series of errors saying that there is a problem with the geometry... you may try: 1) exporting the geometry as a step file... then opening it directly in Algor... Now.. this is a situation with a fundamental problem... the ability to make quick design changes are lost... because you are dealing with geometry outside IC... so I hope you don't have alot of changes to make.. not to mention having to set up all the constraints again... Remember.. chances are that you will be in Metric Units if you forgot to change your setup... so just make adjustments to the results and convert as necessary... if you just change the units in Algor, the geometry will not change.. all the results will be incorrect... you will actually need to re-scale the geometry.. Which means... if you are in english units.. just export an Iges format... but geometry quality, may suffer.. ie being able to get a water tight solid after meshing... 2) export the geometry as a step file and re-import into IC... then start the Algor mesh again... now you will be able to make geometry changes.. etc..
