I am trying to mesh an assembly. It has 11 parts, however one part is not showing after meshing though no error was displayed during meshing. The same part, if meshed as a single part meshes without any issue. Also, during meshing, total number of parts is showing as, for example, 2 of 11 but...
I removed one of the springs that had a face in trouble, now section view comes alright. I think that's what has caused the problem. Scott, I don't see a separate folder(s) for surface and solids, I opened the spring and in the feature manager, it appeared as solid(though it had a surface in...
Thank Scott,CBL for the reply. I did diagnose and there was no error. I will check again whether the parts are surfaces. As far the parts hiding when "zoomed in", I open the part temporarily, change or re-define the color (appearance)and come back to the main assembly. Now it is not hiding when...
When I try to section an assembly with parts from "Imported step converted and solidworks created parts', I get at least two errors, either "Sectioning at this position will produce invalid bodies, Please select different position" or "The model could not be properly sectioned by the section...
CBL,
Worked perfect. I noted that, with this macro, the surface color did not change (but inside changed) unless I do a "Feature recognition" for the "step" imported part. It took me sometime to understand this. Thanks again, CBL.
In an imported step assembly model, while the parts appear in color, if I section the assembly, the cut sections (of parts) show in white. I think, this is due to the model of parts are in color on the surface, but not inside. One way to get the cut parts in color is to select individual parts...
