1: Setup Before starting the tutorial, you must download the part. You will use the Split Bodycommand to partition the model and then remove features from the geometry, including edge blends and a slot that are not significant to the analysis. Actually it shows it as just half in the M3D printer but then it says optimizing and then the whole model shows up. Need to figure out how to take the location of complicated models on site & represent the location in side plant - currently the location can be set by the imported xref.Ĭollision checking then performed in Navisworks. to simplify a model in preparation for meshing. The sliced model you can never export as STL, thats the same when a bird is able to fly behind itself - worry > and bring that into M3d, it is the full model.

Currently the plant dwg is big - looks good in Navisworks but sluggish inside plant. Presume the revit/inventor models are sent to Navisworks & the Plant Model sent to navis too, thinking about how the co ordinate systems are all tied together. Are imported models best avoided because of the performance hit? this looks like a way to keep everything a simple as possible. The tutorials I've seen appear to point to creating models from scratch using the tools within plant. With Inventor a sketch plane can be used & geometry projected & extruded - not sure how to keep the same co-ordinate system trying to copy the workflow in Autocad. Models imported from Inventor & Navisworks can be sizable - currently theses models are xrefs but when switched on performance is slow.Īny top tips for creating simple representations of imported model for plant 3d
