Unable to export solid geometry

[Mr. Suraj Pawar 0]

I have created Marine propulsor geometry using CAESES. The geometry consists of shaft, rotor and stator. I am using Brep feature/ solid from intersection to create solid geometry. But when I export step file or iges file I am not able to get solid geometry. I only get surface geometry. I have attached the project file. 

 

Thank you.

Hi Suraj,

 

From what I can see there are a couple of files missing to make this project run. You can also use commands such as

resolveEnv("$PROJECTDIR") + "/naca0010TE.txt"

to have a relative path definition. Makes it easier for others (and maybe also for yourself) to let it run on other computers with different directory paths. Just as a side note.

 

Cheers

Joerg

Hi Suraj,

 

After some checks on the created stator blades I have figured out that the distribution of the control points on the created airfoil curve was changing drastically at some point.

 

This was creating a problematic surface that might lead to failed solid creation.

 

The bug is already solved in the new version which will be released soon. Meanwhile I can provide you a workaround.

 

Please find attached the project file with the updated feature definition.

 

 

 

Note: please update the thickness file path in the feature definition accordingly

 

Cheers

Ceyhan

Sorry. I forgot to attach all text files. The attached xip file has all text files and project file. 

Thank you.

Thank you everyone for your help.

BTW: There is an updated case study of the VOITH Linear Jet, based on the material from the CAESES users meeting 2017.

Suraj, did the input from Ceyhan help?

[Mr. Suraj Pawar 0]

Yes. I was able to export solid geometry after implementing Ceyhan's suggestion. Thanks.
