Acis Error

Acis Error.
we have a requirement to import Rhino model to another software “Intergraph Smart 3D”
but, always have Acis Error appear.
is anyone can advise how to fix it?

Hi Brian -

Does that also happen when you export a simple box?
Have you tried the STEP file format instead?

thx for your reply.
“Intergraph smart3D” only can accept SAT and IGES file.
i also try use simple cube box. it is ok.
could you know what is Acis Error?

Hi Brian -

I’m afraid not, no. I don’t have an application that reads *.sat files, so this is not something I can test.

Have you tried all flavors of that format?

If you can post the 3dm file, we could see if there is anything “obvious” wrong with it.

Apart from all that, I’d try the IGES format.

570-hull- (延長)-r1-c0 cap error.3dm (8.1 MB)

570-hull-acis no error.3dm (4.8 MB)

Dear Sir,
attached pls find the rhino model.
both models have no acis error. but we found another issue of cap error.
the original model is XXX-acis no error. and we try to extend the length of model and re-create the model as XXX-r1. but this model we import to Smart 3D, we found the Gaps(C0 Discountinuities).
could you kindly check the model?

Hi Brian -
I can’t say anything about the issues that Smart 3D reports but I did take a look at your models.

It looks like the overall length of the vessel is about 37 meters and you extended the one version by 90 millimeters. Your files are in the millimeters unit but have their tolerances set at 0.00005 units!?
I doubt there is any production method that you will use that will ensure 0.00005 millimeters precision in a 37 meters construction. I’d put that tolerance at 0.01 at most.

Changing that setting in the middle of a project will not do any good. You’d have to recreate surfaces to the new tolerance for that to have any effect.

Apart from that, when I try to join the surfaces that are visible when I open your “Good” file, 2 polysurfaces are created that can’t be joined together:


→ Original surfaces to the left; joined to the right

When I do that with the “Bad” file, a single polysurface is created:

In this one, though, there is a naked edge in the bow area:

Perhaps, simply closing that hole will make Smart 3D happy?
