MotionView Solver Can't mesh ParaSolid graphics. What should I do?

Hello, I am currently building a Model in MotionView. When trying to test my progress I get following message in my solver window.

WARNING: Can't mesh ParaSolid graphics in Post_Graphic/90017.

When I examine the results in Hyperview only one of my parts is missing which I suspect to be the cause of the warning, because 90017 is the ID of the graphic.

I first add a body and then add a CADgraphic with the ParaSolid (.x_t) as the graphical source. The Thing I don't understand is I have other Bodies/Graphics defined the same way and they work just fine. I would appreciate any tips or insight into my problem.

I am using the 2025.0 Version of MotionView.

Hello @Simon_

I suspect that this specific parasolid geometry maybe has some defect and thus it's not able to convert properly to an H3D. You can test this really quick if you try to import the geometry in a new blank model. Go to File→ Import→ Geometry or FEM using Hypermesh and select your parasolid file. This procedure will create a Body, a CG point and a graphic for each component in the parasolid file. If you get a warning or error also there then maybe you need to fix your geometry before importing it to MotionView.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Orestes

Hey Orestes, thank you for your answer. When importing the ParaSolid that way it did not give a warning or error. However, more that one Body was being loaded in, meaning the individual parts of the file didn't count as one. I used Inspire's Push/Pull Tool to close some small gaps between parts and then combined them. Now it works.

Thank you very much for your help.
