import step file
Hi
I am a new user of MecWay.
I noticed that when I import a step file and launch the mesh... I receive a error message like; no points loaded and it asks me to modify the geometry because "maybe" it is too complex. The same happens when I import step files of pressure vessels created using shell.
How can I solve it?
Thanks

Mecway's STEP import can only mesh a single closed solid shape. So a shell won't work. One way around that is to change it into a solid (ie. fill in the interior of the vessel) using your CAD program, then generate a surface mesh in Mecway so it becomes a shell again.
