Keep in mind I believe it keeps as a default when you change that and you may have to go back and return it to whatever units you normally save in. I think this is a good example which demonstrates the limitations of shell elements in situations when surface curvature or feature size is comparable to the material thickness.

MESH ENABLER DIDN'T MAKE IT SOLID INVENTOR PRO
I use the Autodesk Mesh Enabler in Inventor Pro 2013 to convert STL mesh to solids. stl file single select the file you want to open so it is highlighted and down at the bottom there is an Options button, click that and it opens a window, under Units there is an Import Units button, switch that to mm or in depending on how your file was saved out originally. As expected, the solid elements demonstrated 49 higher stress (211.7MPa vs 140.8MPa) than shell elements. Managed to get a copy of Autodesk Product Design Suite Ultimate 2013. Evan, What I did is when you go to open your. stl file single select the file you want to open so it is highlighted and down at the bottom there is an Options button, click that and it opens a window, under Units there is an Import Units button, switch that to mm or in depending on how your file was saved out originally. stl was open, I click on the part, then right click, select Convert to Base Feature, I selected output to solid, OK and it was done and worked correctly.Įvan, What I did is when you go to open your. If we build a chart showing the outcome (in this case first eigenvalue) dependence on node count in the model, this chart will be asymptotically reaching for the correct answer (in this case 0.6947).Node count is only one of the parameters possible here. stl came in fine and matched what the customer had. Reduction of finite element size leads to more elements, which in turn leads to more nodes in the model. So it sees the 12 as the value and the import doesn't know or care what it is but as soon as I changed my import option to mm the. I admit my file is huge, and I do get a message that my object is over 5000 triangles and. I installed the Mesh Enabler, but every time I try the conversion Inventor stops responding. The customer exported in mm and I imported in inch. Greetings, I'm pretty new to Inventor, and I have been trying to convert a. I opened a customer model and it looked correct until I made a measurement and it was 12" the real measurement was 0.473 or 12mm. stl file (inch or mm) when opening the file and change it in your options to match before opening it to keep it at the correct values. Make sure you know what your units are of the.

This next comment doesn't really have anything to do with how the Mesh Enabler works other than how you import then use the Enabler:

Seems to work fine now after Rocky fixed it up.
