Hi, i'm working with a truss structure with 3d printing material for an aerodynamic device in formula sae. For the internal parts i need to works with thickness lower than 1mm: i import the IGES in hyperworks and the program changes the geometry in some regions, i think because the thickness is too much low. What else can i do? Are there other ways to do it?

Thank you very much

    Maybe play with 'Cleanup tol' when importing?

    Don't work with IGES if you can have another format, like STEP, CATIA,...

    I imported with STEP and the problem was solved.

    Thank you!
