Ansys Autocad Import Images

I want to show you how to import Cad file such as Catpart/sldpart. In Ansys workbench. When you install ansys you should check this options, but if you forgot. Follow this step. My Ansys version is 14.5 and it work in all version upper 12 step 1: Start - all programs - ANSYS. (Picture courtesy of Volkswagen). If there was any. Historically, ANSYS owns simulation like Autodesk owned design. But a ten year, $500.

What is better Autodesk AutoCAD or ANSYS DesignModeler? Different organizations need different types of CAD Software. To understand well which one meets your needs, consider reviewing various options feature by feature an taking into consideration their terms and prices. Likewise, you will get a quick idea of their general efficiency and customer feedback by having a look at our smart scoring system.

The results are: Autodesk AutoCAD (9.6) vs. ANSYS DesignModeler (9.5) for all round quality and performance; Autodesk AutoCAD (98%) vs. ANSYS DesignModeler (80%) for user satisfaction rating. Analyze their high and weak points and decide which software is a better choice for your company. One simple but effective way is to write the strengths and weaknesses of both solutions side by side and check which solution comes on top.

We know that not all businesses have the time to scrutinize a wide range of different products, so we prepared a list of suggestions that you may find useful. Our top selections for the CAD Software category are: ANSYS DesignModeler, CorelCAD, Autodesk AutoCAD.

A binary file format used for storing two and three-dimensional design data and metadata. It is the native format for several CAD packages including AutoCAD.

Import

To open, import, insert, and attach a file as a worksession

1. From the File menu, click Open, Insert, Import, or Worksession > Attach.

2. In the dialog box, select a supported file type.
3. Click and configure the settings.
   When you open a non-3dm file and save the model, its filename will be the default 3dm filename.

DWG/DXF Import Options

Import unreferenced layers

Imports empty layers.

Import unreferenced blocks

Imports unused block definitions.

Import unreferenced linetypes

Imports unused linetype definitions.

Convert wide polylines to surfaces

Ignore thickness

Convert regions to curves

Mesh precision

Automatic

If the mesh imported from DWG/DXF is too big or too far from the origin to work properly as a single-precision mesh, Rhino will import the mesh as double precision.

Double precision

Single precision

Model units

Layout units

Set layer material to layer color

Assigns a material to each layer that matches the layer color.

Always use these settings. Do not show this dialog again.

Saves the current settings and turns off the dialog display.

To turn the message back on

• Click the button in the appropriate Save, Export, Open, Import, or Insert dialog box.
  

See also: ResetMessageBoxes command.

Import notes

• The latest DWG format Rhino supports to read is AutoCAD 2018.
• Polyface mesh and 3DFace entities import as polygon mesh objects. They do not convert to NURBS.
• Wide polylines import as surfaces. If the polylines are narrower than Rhino's current tolerance setting, wide polylines import as polylines. Graphics, rays, regions, or OLE objects do not import.
• Line widths by layer and by object import as print widths by layer and by object.
• Block attributes import as text.
• Attribute definitions that are not included in blocks are skipped.
• Hatches may not import in the same position relative to objects since Rhino does not support varying the origin.
• Off and frozen layers import as off layers.
• XREFs are imported. XREF layers with the same names as the base drawing layers are merged. If any of the layers contributing to a merged layer is off or frozen in AutoCAD, the combined layer will be off in Rhino.
• If objects in a block definition are on AutoCAD layer 0, their properties will be set to ByParent.
• AutoCAD Dimension Style scale (dimscale) is now imported and assigned to the Model space scale in the annotation style that is generated on import.
• Images are imported as Rhino Picture objects.
• AutoCAD Index Color (ACI) 7 is imported as black when Value (brightness) of the Rhino viewport background color is 128 or greater. Otherwise, it is imported as white.

Export

To save as or export a Rhino model

1. On the File menu, click Export Selected or Save As.
2. In the dialog box, the Files of type list displays the currently supported file types for export.
3. In the Files of type box, select the supported file type.
4. In the File name box, select or type a file name.
5. Specify what is to be saved.

Options
Save small	Though clearing the render meshes makes the file smaller, it will shade and render more slowly the next time you open the file.
Save geometry only	Saves geometry objects only. No layers, materials, properties, notes, or units settings are saved. This is similar to exporting the objects. A new file is made, but it does not become your active Rhino model.
Save textures	Embeds external textures used by materials, environments and decals into the model.
Save plugin data	Saves data attached to objects or the document by plug-in applications.

6. If the export can be configured, click the button to specify export settings.
7. If the file type creates only mesh objects, in the Polygon Mesh Objects dialog box, specify the mesh settings.

DWG/DXF Export Options

Export Scheme

Select the export scheme to use.

Always use these settings. Do not show this dialog again.

Saves the current settings and turns off the dialog display.

To turn the message back on

• Click the button in the appropriate Save, Export, Open, Import, or Insert dialog box.
  

See also: ResetMessageBoxes command.

Edit Schemes

Opens the AutoCAD Export Schemes dialog box.

Export DWG/DXF with an external scheme file

To ensure all Rhino users in a corporation export dwg/dxf files with the same scheme settings, use the scriptable version of the Export command: -Export

To prepare the scheme file

1. Use the AcadSchemes command to create a customized scheme.
2. Click to save an AcadExportScheme File (*.ini) file.
3. Open the ini file in a plain text editor, for example, Windows Notepad.
4. Change CurrentOption=n to CurrentOption=y.
5. Save the file.

To use the scheme file to export

1. Start the -Export command.
2. Type the file name, for example, my.dwg or my.dxf.
   The full path of the file can be included.
3. At the Write file using scheme.. prompt, select the FromIni option.
4. Browse to select the scheme file or enter the full path of the file.
5. Continue to finish exporting the dwg/dxf file.

Export notes

• Characters that are unsupported by AutoCAD in Layout names are replaced with underscore characters.
• AutoCAD supports NURBS geometry and Rhino exports NURBS surfaces as such if your export scheme is set to Export Surfaces as Solids. In AutoCAD, the objects will list as Solid or Surface.
• Picture objects are exported as AutoCAD images.
• AutoCAD does not support unit systems the way modern CAD applications do. Rhino and most non-Autodesk applications use a variable named 'INSUNITS' to control the unit system conversion when blocks are inserted in AutoCAD. Rhino sets that variable based on the Rhino unit system to 1 for inches, 4 for millimeters, etc. More information..

Import and Export Notes

• Block definitions and instances import and export.
• Paperspace objects import as Layouts.
• Layer names and colors import and export.
• Use IGES with the IGES import/export module to exchange NURBS geometry with AutoCAD.
• The ACIS SAT file format can be used to export solids to AutoCAD 2000 and above; AutoCAD 2000 ACIS objects are imported.
• ByBlock and ByLayer properties settings are translated as ByParent and ByLayer in Rhino.
• AutoCAD blocks with attributes are now imported into Rhino as user text. This can be manipulated with the GetUserText and SetUserText commands.

• Text fields are exported to DWG/DXF files as plain text.
