What I have is imported data (.IGES) that was converted to SOLIDWORKS. I have then isolated the base that is an assembly with 77 "dummy" parts. I have now exported that to a .sldprt that is basically a SOLIDWORKS part with each actual part acting as a body. The company I'm working with usually takes my .sldasm and converts them to multibody parts anyways. Does SOLIDWORKS see this as the same thing? This is a weldment with no hollow parts, only solids. Can FEA be ran on this?
Thanks,
Bobby
You could do a Combine.
Do you really need all of those solid bodies for the FEA (my guess is that some do not substantially influence the FEA (other than to increase processing time).
Can you attach example file here along with the FEA parameters.
