I want to calculate the shot weight of the Hull with different wall thickness say 8, 10 and 12mm. I have the original file in .3dm format, so used rhinoceros software to convert the original file to .igs file and later to a .sldprt file. I have tried to use thicken feature but unable to do so. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Vitul,.. there are some overlapping surfaces in the Rhino import.. I offset and knitted them and added some extrusion and plane to make it solid..... unfortunately, the minimum radius of curvature and the singularities will not allow for this to be thickened or shelled.. so,.. if you look at the image attached,.. you will need to fix the areas highlighted in yellow. (image and file attached)
Hi Paul,
Thanks for spending your time on this problem. I will check the attachment now.
