Hi Sisi, I have sent you back your revised model. There were several errors in your setup. Also you did not even use the feature that I have provided earlier. I will suggest you to go over the Workbench Connection Tutorial in detail and in case you are using 2D geometry, utilize the feature definition I have provided earlier. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Sisi, There must be an error in your setup. Can you please provide me your Caeses project file, fsc file together with your Ansys project file. You can send them to erdem@friendship-systems.com. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Sisi, Glad that it worked. Please remember that due to changes in design, your BRep Edge numbers may change as well. Creating an inconsistency and hence failure to assign a color. You can use the attached simple Feature Definition where the user is expected to add the edges that will create the 2D geometry as input. Please assign the colors to the edges before adding to the list. The fature then will create a BRep using the provided edges and then assign those colors to the corresponding BRep edges.

Hi Cui, I was referring to trim the pointy tip which seems to be still there. I will suggest you to move to Caeses v5. You may have some errors which can be worked to make it compatible with v5. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi SIsi, I will suggest you to use DesignModeler in case you have a 2D body with assigned colors to the BRep. However if you are using SpaceClaim, the procedure is more complex requiring you to use a Feaure created in Caeses. I still need to work on the SpaceClaim code to make it work with 2D boundaries. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Cui, Looks like you are using Caeses v4. Is there a specific reason for not to upgrade to Caeses v5? The reason should be due to some errors on one of your BReps. I believe you have obtained the Body geometry by revolving a profile, which may lead to some problems. Can you please trim the end profile a bit and then use "Close Planar Holes" operation, well not sure if it exists in Caeses v4, or use some other way so that it is not that pointed anymore. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Sisi, I cannot recreate the problem. I will suggest we have a web-meeting to speed up the process. Please let me know when you may be available on the next days. Please keep in mind that we are using CET time zone. You can send your availability information to erdem@friendship-systems.com. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Sisi, Can you please let me know your Ansys version? Did you get the ACT App from the Caeses installation folder? Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Sisi, Can you let me know how you imported the parametric geometry into Ansys Workbench? You can name surfaces in Caeses by providing colors to the surfaces of interest which then will be transferred downstream. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Jake Smith, Can you please write me an email suggesting a timeframe so that we can arrange a web-meeting? Please keep in mind that we are located in GMT+2 time zone. I would like to observe the problem on your computer. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Stanley, So you have a section profile. You would like to locate 200 equidistant points on the profile, created in clock-wise direction. And then export those creted points as point data on a file, am I correct? Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Jake, I am finally back in the office. May I ask you why you are using an old version of Caeses? Did you try Caeses v5? Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Jake, Inside Workbench, if your geometry module is DesignModeler; open it and define the geometries as shared topology as usual. However if your geometry module is SpaceClaim; within the ACT App Properties Menu, you should find an entry only dedicated for SpaceClaim where you can assign the topology type. I will be back in the office end of September. We can have a web-meeting if you have any questions once I am back. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Jake, Can you please send to "erdem@friendship-systems.com" your fsc file and Caeses project file? I need to check how the configuration is set up. And also a screenshot form your workbench screen woulkd be great to see how you have performed the connections. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Jake, As mentioned before we have checked your license and you have the necessary rights to run Caeses in batch mode. Also since it is a free license, you are allowed to run up to two sessions of Caeses at the same time. In case your license is stuck you can visit our web-page "www.caeses.com" and through "Support" you can reach "Your Licenses". There you can release your license if needed. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Yukai, The surface you would like to modify is an axi-symmetrical surface. It will be way easier; to get rid of that surface, create a profile controlled by parameters and then rotate it around the axis. Cheers Ceyhan

HI Memorise, When you use the command getSurface() in a BRep or let's say when you try to convert a BRep face into a surface type entity what you basically get is the underlying surface that is used to build the BRep. So it is not a wrong geometry that you are obtaining but your method is wrong. As I suggested you before, you have get more familiarity to Caeses by revising the tutorials. What I will suggest is creating a BRep, with the necessary BRep faces that you would like to use. So that you do not get the underlying surfaces but the exact faces that make up the BRep. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Memorise, Can you please be more specific? What do you mean by "The polycurve I tried cannot fit the original curves"? Can you provide some visuals? Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Memorise, 1. You can use a polycurve to combine several curves and create a single one. 2. Among the curves group, you may be interested to check the BRep Based curves; But I will strongly recommend you to perform the basic Caeses tutorials first. Seems you lack some fundamental concepts in Caeses. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Jake, We have checked your license and normally you should not encounter any issues. While trying, can you please be sure that no more than two Caeses instances are open already? I don't think this is the cause and we should have received another error but let's be on the safe side. (Your free license should be supporting two Caeses instances only at the same time) Below you can find the link for the previous Caeses version; maybe you would like to give a try and let us know https://www.caeses.com/downloads/software/software-archive5/CAESES_5.2.2_win64.exe We believe this is an issue caused due to an intervention, as you have mentioned, maybe a firewall. I am unable to recreate the problem. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Jake, I will recommend you to check the tutorial for the Ansys Workbench Integration. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Jake, I think it should work. Please use the latest Caeses version. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Jake, I will recommend you to use the latest Caeses version which is v5.2.2 for the time being. Within the installation files you can find the updated ACT App. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Carlos, Please check the StarCCM+ connection tutorial carefully. Once you add a file to the SoftwareConnector, it becomes linked to the Caeses Profject. However if you proceed by double clicking it and visualize its contents the file gets integrated within the Caeses project. For such big files like .sim, I will recommend you to keep it linked. Please revise the tutorial files. Cheers Ceyhan

Hi Donhung, Please check the picture below; I will recommend you to revise the Caeses tutorial files. Cheers Ceyhan
