Hello guys,

 

I am working on an Formula Student chassis.

 

After my composites optimization, I have now a fully optimized thickness in my chassis. But now, I want to export my 2D meshing in CAD file.

 

I saw previously the module 'Shell to Solid Conversion', and tried to create a solid and an assigned PSOLID property.

 

What should I do now ? Because when I tried to export my solid, an error occurs : 'No supported entities present for Export'. 

 

I also tried with OSSmooth, but I have no .sh file associated with my solid model...

 

Thanks for helping !

 

Best Regards,

    Hi @NicolasRi

     

    You can export ply data to .stp format using 'Ply Geometry smoothing' option available in OptiSrtuct Aerospace profile.

     

    You can also use OSSmooth>> PLYShape option to export CAD data and you don't need a .sh file for this :)/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20'>
