can any one open this stl file as a solidbody?
Usman,
You can open this in SolidWorks and it comes as 2 surface bodies
There are open and overlap surfaces at few locations. To make it solid, you have to fix these issues and do a knit surface
Which version of SolidWorks you use?
i am already done healing and fill the gaps but they still have a surface body ,i am using solidworks 2015
I was going thru the posted file, it has open surfaces and other surface issues
Once all surfaces are filled, when you knit surface, select the option "create solid body"
Hope this works
john
is it possible that only one surface as open as a solidbody ?
I don't think so...
To make it solid, it should be completely closed
Here is one side of the surface cleaned, fixed and made into solid
There were lots of overlap surfaces and problem geometry.
Hope this works for you
..personally,.. yeah, you can clean it up.. import but it's still just a reference.. imho..
..just use the surfaces as a reference and build your curves/profiles and start remodeling...
..fun!
paul,
it looks good can you send me this file ? i am new in solidworks so i am explore this feature for better understanding
