I reduced the chair to the desired mesh number using the reduce mesh command. I exported the chair as a step using the MesToNURB command, but analysis programs cannot create a mesh because there are intersecting surfaces and the analysis cannot be completed. I see that there are 628 intersecting surfaces using the check command. I get a bad mesh warning. I am now in the final stage, I did a repair mesh but I did not get any results. How can I solve the problem without spoiling the appearance of the chair?
I bake the design and transfer it as STEP. In order to perform static analysis, the analysis program also needs to create a mesh. While creating it, it warns me that there are intersecting points as shown in the image. I need to solve this problem without changing the design, but I don’t know what to do.
To me it does not make sense to create the chair as a mesh and then convert it to nurbs. I’m convinced your software can import the geometry as a mesh.
I mean, when I bake the chair, 1 closed mesh is formed, but since I designed it as voronoi, there are many surfaces. I reduce them with reduce mesh command on rhino. During this formation, coincident surfaces are formed.
No matter what format I transfer it with, I think the intersected points will prevent mesh formation and will not allow the analysis to be completed. They support all formats, but STEP is recommended. What’s your opinion?
