Hello All,
I was trying to use solidworks edit an imported IGES file which I exported from Materialise Mimics.
The original model was scanned by Micro-CT scan and I have imported all the scanned image into Mimics to generated a 3D model by applying the right grey value. After that I exported the model in Mimics as IGES file. However, when I opened the IGES file in Solidworks, the model looks weird, it is a structure which made up with imported curves, like this:
The green part (sweep 1) is what I made according to the imported curves, but this is not a good solution for me because I need to get this part assembled later and I have to keep the geometry as original as possible for the future FEM results.
So my question is: did I imported the IGES file correctly? or Do you have any suggestions for my problem?
Thank you very much for the help!
It could be export setting on the other software.
Can you export in other format? Parasolid is best because SolidWorks is native Parasolid. STEP and last STL.
Try to make sure it export solid or surface or mesh.
