You can convert a standard SOLIDWORKS body or graphics body to a mesh BREP body using the Convert to Mesh Body tool. Because the tools for editing mesh BREP bodies are limited, you should do as much modeling as possible with the standard SOLIDWORKS BREP body before converting ...

The Insert menu includes a submenu for mesh-specific tools, such as Convert to Mesh Body and Create Surface from Mesh. I found this latter mesh tool especially useful and accurate. The Decimate Mesh tool, meanwhile, reduces facet count in graphics mesh bodies. A lower facet count makes it e...
Opening a mesh model in SolidWorks is not difficult. Turning a mesh into a parametric model in SolidWorks will require that the model be re-modeled feature by feature. You can use the imported mesh, or surface as a guide to help speed things along, but it is not an easy task. Upvote ...

Cut with Surfaceis the next command. It trims away the two solid bodies that are much too large. Step 22: Thicken & Merge Thickengives the surface thickness and converts it to a solid body. I also enabled theMergeoption so the orange and yellow protrusions are merged making a single sol...
1. Import scan as Mesh Body 2. Slicing tool to create loft profile sketches 3. Fit Spline the curve to get smooth un-tessellated sketches 4. Lofted Surface There are four steps required to create a smooth, singular-faced surface or solid body from a mesh body. But the g...
It is used to estimate a global element size based on the volume, surface areas and geometric details of a solid object, and create elements and nodes based on global element size, tolerance, and local mesh control. Note that the scale of system model directly relates to the element's ...
One of my favorite options is being able to use Convert to Mesh Body (used to convert standard solid bodies to mesh) and Combine to perform Boolean operations. This approach can be used to modify mesh bodies, such as hollowing out this mouse scan for printing. It can also be used to in...
is based on points and a NURBS surface is based on splines, NURBS surfaces are abstract volume-less shapes. Since we want to 3D print an actual object and not just a virtual one, allSurface Bodiesneed to be converted intoSolid Bodies. Then, the solid body is converted into a mesh ...
