    Slicing a Solid with a Contoured Surface

    Cowski, the car was built for a video games using polygons. The only method I have found to get it into NX was through the DXF option.

    Slicing a Solid with a Contoured Surface

    Update: The thicken surface feature will work if i apply edge blends to each edge in the faceted body, creating a "smooth flow" from one face to the next. I think what is happening is it attempts to thicken one face and it collides with the next face over, and creates discontinuities in the...

    Slicing a Solid with a Contoured Surface

    With the failure to thicken the sheet, I get the general error: Unable to apply thicken. I did a test case, one with a sinusoidal sweep that resulted in a 3-dimensional curve, and the other with a bunch of triangles (much like my geometry of the car) that were turned into sheets, sewed, and...

    Slicing a Solid with a Contoured Surface

    I did a test on a layer that had passed the all the areas of the geometry analysis, and I am still unable to have the sheet/surface split the block.

    Slicing a Solid with a Contoured Surface

    Self intersecting face detected. How am I supposed to find it with 16000 faces in the body???

    Slicing a Solid with a Contoured Surface

    I am attempting to run a CFD analysis on a car. I have been able to convert the 3ds Max file into a *.dxf, which imports to NX3 as a faceted body. I then "sewed" the multiple faces together, extracted geometry, and got a surface/sheet, which imports to Fluent. The car's body is essentially one...
