Hi y'all,
I am evaluating SolidWorks as a 3D input generator to a Finite Element program (COMSOL) I have been able to do quite a bit by going through the tutorials but
I have not suceded withdoing the followingin SolidWorks:<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
ffice
ffice" /></DIV>
<DIV>
(1) reset the coordinates of the origin oncean assembly has been loaded.</DIV>
<DIV>
(2) turn empty volumes inside the assemblyinto parts (air parts.)</DIV>
<DIV>
(3) surround the importedassembly with a sphere and define the part resulting from the subtraction the original assembly from the sphere.</DIV>
<DIV>
(4) cut the resulting assemblyalong one or moreplanes of symmetry.</DIV>
<DIV>
(5) assign variables to part dimensions after they have been imported.
I did manage to build the sphereof #3 but not the subtraction.
Your help with any of the above will be much appreciated!
Take care,</DIV>
