Remeshing STL file on PREFEKO

Altair Forum User

Hi all,

I've STL file of a structure. I uploaded it to PREFEKO and i run the program and i got an error because of the meshing.  Is there any way to remesh/create a finer mesh of the STL file in PREFEKO? 

I need to use PREFEKO, not the CADFEKO to get an automated process. I've attached my .pre file for clarification.      Thanks in advance.

Hello Khadimul,

 

I uploaded it to PREFEKO and i run the program and i got an error because of the meshing.

What was the error? Elements too large?

 

The element sizes are specified at the IP card and it looks like you set it to 3.7. It also looks like you are using a scaling factor (SF card) and all dimensions are in microns (scale factor = 1e-6).

 

Is there any way to remesh/create a finer mesh of the STL file in PREFEKO? 

The PREFEKO language also supports the RM card if you really need to remesh some of the face labels, but since you are importing everything from one file, the IP card should do what you want.

 

I need to use PREFEKO, not the CADFEKO to get an automated process.

Note that CADFEKO also supports automation via scripting. It should be very easy to do in a script what you can do manually in CADFEKO. You can even record the steps (macro recording) and then just modify the script after the recording as you need.

 

I hope this helps. If not, please add more details inculding the STL file so that I can take a look.
