I'm using SolidWorks to create a surface model of a welded structure from the manufacturing assembly model. Some of my surfaces are centered, and some are offset. I will move this model into ANSYS for analysis, and I need to know the direction to offset (Trial and error will work, but it's a real pain).
Is there a way to make SolidWorks 2010 SP4 display different colors for the positive vs negative side of each surface body? I do not have Simulation.
Thanks
You can color the surface as required. Right click on the surface and select appearance and then apply the required color.
Not sure but try to use draft analysis if that works (View > Display > Draft analysis) as running a draft analysis will add color based on negative and positive draft.
