If it is helpful, you can simply Copy and Paste the portion of each line starting with “GetRootPart()…” to the definitions for m0, m1, and b. Verify that the IDs for those entities match the corresponding assignments for m0, m1, and b.

Repeat this process for the deformed mesh and the original body geometry. Then, turn off recording, select the facet body of the original geometry (it should be inside of a component in the tree), then select the Select Tool from the Script Editor to define that selection. Change the select tool from the Script Editor to use the “Index” method: Next, we need to use the select tool to verify the entity ID numbers for m0, m1, and b. # b uses the Original Model geometry in imported or native to Space Claim # m1 uses the Deformed Model in STL (Exported from Mechanical) # m0 uses the Original Model in STL (Exported from Mechanical) M1=GetRootPart().ĬustomMethods.WarpBodyByMeshNew(b,m0,m1,False,0.00001) The deformed mesh, exported from Ansys MechanicalĬopy and Paste in the code below (This SpaceClaim 2021R1) (Copying the comment lines beginning with “#”is optional)įrom .Internal import CustomMethods.

The undeformed mesh, exported from Ansys Mechanical.To start, open SpaceClaim and import the following objects (making sure that they all share the same coordinate system and origin):

With some of the Python scripts available in Ansys SpaceClaim, this process is quite easy. Checking for clearance or fit within a larger top-level assembly, using the deformed shape for additional simulation or physics, or using the deformed components in a production model could be a reason why a user would seek to create solid geometry from their deformed mesh. Quite often, engineers need to set up a model not by using ideal or undeformed geometry but by using a geometry that has been deformed as the result of structural loading.
