Import Geometry

[Mr. mohamad gh 0]

hi Friends

I have a question and needing your help.

I have a propeller geometry and want to import to caeses from Solidworks ?

1-Can i import it?

2-If i can, which  format is better?

3- I want to optimize a marine propeller by Caeses coupled Starccm+,Is this way correct?(by import to caeses from solidWorks)

Hey Mohamed,

 

CAESES can handle a variety of formats. To see all of them just open CAESES and select the tab "File > import > .." in the top bar. I personally like to use the stl format when working with StarCCM+.

The workflow you described would work, but the problem is, that if you use an imported file from another modeling software you will only be able to use Free Form Deformation with it.

The other way would be to rebuild the propeller in CAESES itself (There is a tutorial in the documentation browser, that shows you how to build single blade and from there it is a rather small step to the full propeller).

You can of cause also look into the samples and just select a propeller from there, or there are some forum posts (also with complete propellers) that you can find here: https://www.caeses.com/forum/index.php?/topic/257-meta-thread-marine-propellers/

 

Greetings
