Hi Tom, thank you so much for the files! I have a quick question regarding the files. How would I go about changing the diameter of the stent? Thanks!

Hi Tom, I tried downloading the file, but it has nothing inside. I checked the file size, and it says 0 bytes on the mooload webpage. Is there someway to upload it again? Sorry for the hassle!

Hi Tom, the most updated version of SW I have is 2004.5. Is it possible to send it as an IGES file, and I'll open it in SW 2004.5, and then save it as a STL file for FEA with Nastran/Patran? Thanks!

Wow, I can't even comprehend what you did in SW. Given that I have only had a few sessions of SW experience, I don't know if I can repeat exactly what you did. Would it be possible if you upload that file somehow? Thank you so much for your help!

Hello Tom, wow, that looks amazing. If I can remember the stent correctly, that is exactly how it looks like. How did you do that? That looks great! Did you use that IGES file or did you start from scratch? Thanks!!
-Peter
Yeah I tried looking around this forum and have been conducting several searches regarding this, but nothing addressed this specific problem. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Hi Tom, I don't know why but it's not normal html. All you would have to do is put . For example, let's say the internet location of the image is: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y44/bingpwr/stentscan.jpg.
Then it should look like this: [i m g...
Hi rfus, when I run the macros program, it keeps giving me an error saying that there is an invalid character in the code. I'm not sure of how how to fix this.
However, since you tested that data, and it came out pretty rough, that is exactly what we can't use. I'm going to try to rescan the...
Hi RFUS, thank you for your reply! I actually posted the file in the link (yousendit.com link) a few posts before. I tried looking for a iges converter to the xyz data, but I can't seem to find a program that does that or have access to one. Thanks again!

Wow, I didn't know you were going to work on it! Well for the diameter, I didn't have a caliper with me, so I could measure it. However, I think 1 mm is a safe estimate...more like 0.95 mm. How are you creating the CAD drawing?
As for the photo, I cannot seem to get a copy of the picture, but...
My thoughts exactly. The problem with this is that if I just spline and sweep with a measured diameter, would I be able to use this CAD for FEA? The main criteria is that we capture the 3D shape of it, and then we are able to use this CAD to apply finite element analysis.
Hi Tom, thanks for replying again! I uploaded the file on yousendit.com, so all you need to do is go there and download it. Thanks so much again.

Hi Tom, thank you for your reply! I find it very difficult to do the 3D spline since the stent involves x,y, and z coordinates at every point, and SW does not allow for drawing with XYZ, only XY, ZY, and so forth.
As for the point cloud data, I have the IGES file. I can upload it sometime, but...
I've been stuck with this forever. I have an IGES file of a 3D Surface scan with about 8000 point clouds. I need to somehow put a surface on the point clouds, and need to keep the cross section concentric. Any help would be truly appreciated.
After the surface scan, I have a lot of point cloud...
