Exporting all parts of a body as a unique solid

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm having an  issue about exporting a model to Ansys Fluent. When i export the model bellow as an IGES extension i finish having four different bodies in a montage, but i need to have all them together as a unique solid. In the end of the project i created a BRep with the four bodies but when i try to export it as my final design i have them separated (take a look in the attached imaged of mesh plug-in in Ansys Fluent). Is there any way, or maybe extension, that i can use to have a full and unique solid?

Firstly i created half of the model and then duplicated each part of it with an opposite Image Surface.image.png.e688063372dd15c0e4e0a4babc26309f.png

After that, i used the feature BRep to create the final design, so i added the right and left sides and a plane as my sources to cut in the second step the "tail" of the model.

Now i used the operation "Solid from Intersections" to cut the "tail" and got the front part of the body.

Finally, i added as source the other parts of the model (the legs) and used the operation "Close Planar Holes" to close the bottom of the "legs".

After finished, the model i added a color ("fullbody") for it, selected the BRep and tried to export the model  an IGES extension like the image attached bellow.

Note: I created all the surfaces using the feature Coons Patch.
