Kindly need help on how to convert from a surface body to a solid body for my project. I have tried to knit the surfaces together but does not work because of the big tolerance.

..first one.. "Complete_Smooth z.zip"
..and the detailed one.. "Complete_Detailed body z" (the body... will add the wheels/exhaust/mirrors next)
..and the wheels/exhaust/mirrors .. "Complete_Detailed acc z.zip"
NOTE:,.. these other bodies (in both models) should be run through "Import Diagnostics" and repaired (auto).
On surface you always rules budy...
lol!... well, I'm very surprised it is water tight,.. so, think of these surface knits like a balloon ready to pop!

Hi Paul..I somehow cannot open the file "Complete_Smooth z" in my Solidwork.
..it's simple,.. you need to open the file.. and delete the "DELETE ME" (it was there to consume the bodies which reduces the file further, that is <25 megs)
Thanks Paul..I will try these out.. but why do zip each out as independent?
Hey Saran,..glad it helps..and there is a 25meg limit here so I had to split them.
Any idea why this problem occur when I tried to import the car into Ansys?
..as was Noted:...these other bodies (in both models) should be run through "Import Diagnostics" (image)
Hi Paul. Sorry for reaching out for you again. Would you mind to help me convert the car surface into solid body again because i want to scale down size of the car? I have tried to scale down the previous whole solid car body done by you but it appear to have missing geometry.
Note: I have scale down all the car parts
Here the link for the file
Why is scale @ 0.001?.. as is/was, this model barely resolved with manual adjustments as a knit and solid.. the best I could scale was 0.1
You're on your own with resolving this...Good luck!
Sorry. I was clueless about the scaling because I want the model to be as small as possible so that I would save some time doing my CFD. Would you mind changing the scale to 0.1? Thank you for your understanding.
Saran,.. you should be able to do this yourself, scale the smooth body 0.1 posted back on Mar 4, 2019 5:21 PM.
Here is the independent surfaces for the car:
Complete_Smooth Complete_Smooth.zip - Google Drive
Complete_Detailed Complete_detailed.zip - Google Drive
Hello Saran,... it's possible,.. I saveas a sldprt, find the center and saveas parasolid (front/rear/bottom).. and assembly using vertex matches for the mates.. and saveas parsolid,.. knit the front/rear.. then knit the bottom.. and repair/close failures and solidify.. (image)
..these are big files though.. but could zip each out as independent?
