Solid Body

Khoa Huynh Jun 3, 2015 3:42 PM

Is there any way that I can convert my assembly file to a solid body file? I did open my assembly and save as it as .sldprt file, but it is just all surfaces although I need a solid body.

Thank for your help.

If they are solids to begin with.

When doing the save as part, see image. Make sure to select all components.

  Thanks, but I need one solid part for simulation, it is multiple solid body part.

    If you are starting with an assembly with parts including solids and You want to save it as part, use the above method for that. After you open the part with the solids you can e.g. try to combine them to one. 2015 SOLIDWORKS Help - Combining Bodies - Add
