here is an example of the sort of thing that happens in my mesh. I have an assembly with one central structure and then some parts sticking off of it. The parts sticking off the central structure are separate meshes that do not connect directly to the central mesh. The parts had a cutting plane...
the problem is not that the normals are reversed - it is that i have the normal mesh with the correct normals, and then right after that in the output is a duplicate set of elements that have reverse facing normals. so it looks like it is trying to have a back side to the element or something. i...
Yes, I mean that I want to export the mesh for use in another program, such as with export->simulation.
THe problem is that if I have a cube, for example, I would expect taht cube to be comprised of 6 elements - 1 per face with normals facing outward. What I get though is a cube with 12...
When I export a FEM I end up with the elements I wanted, plus a copy of every element in the mesh with a reverse facing normal. How do I turn this behavior off and just export the forward facing elements?
thanks!
Is there any way to make a fem in NX 6 and export it to an ascii file in either abaqus or ansys format? (so that I might import it into another program)
thanks!
In NX6 I have an assembly made up of a large number of parts. I want to create a FEM that meshes around the outside off all intersected parts. For example, if a rod sticks out of a hole, I want the mesh to approach the rod and go up the rod in one continuous mesh. I do not want the hidden part...
