Any way to retrive solid from shrinkwrap-

[athul]

hai all





Am facing a problem in pro-e i am having a complex shrinkwrap part in form of surfaces i want to convert it to solid as i lost its parent file .Is there any option in Pro-e to retrive the actual solid from the shrinkwrap available with me???...or else tell me in which software i can convert this surfaces to solid .


Expecting quick reply


Regards

Hi athul,


could you upload your shrinkwrap part here, i know lots of people here can help you rebuilding your part since you lost the reference part.Rebuilding all the missingsurfaces and gaps of a shrinkwrap part is the only way to convert your part to a solid.


shrinkwrap part is just a set of surfaces depending on the level during conversion and this is mainly used to create large assembly representation only. but in my case i always use level 1 only for faster regeneration and just add additional surfaces like solid geometry surfaces to easily convert it to a solid part whenever i need to.

Here is one of the part.


Please convey the steps to be taken

You can do a copy (seed & bound) of the surfaces, than use the solidify feature. I have attached a WF 3.0 part.

To remove references to the shrinkwrap, try exporting as a STEP file, and reimport the STEP into a new Pro-E part file. Of course, the solid model will not have a feature history.

If you understand that the purpose of shrinkwrapping is to loose part and/or assembly complexity you will also understand that you cannot retrieve a part from a shrinkwrap.


Of course, depending on the quality of the shrinkwrap, the number of features and the accuracy available may be sufficient to recreate the part.
