[Geoqus] Importing surfaces

[Coblentz, David]

I use the software Rhino3d to create a surface, export the surface as an ACIS file (.sat), and then import the surface into Abaqus/CAE as a part.  Works well for simple surfaces; complex volumes sometimes have geometry issues that need to be repaired in Abaqus.

Subject: [Geoqus] Importing surfaces

Hi All

I sent an email couple of weeks ago asking about how can I import an ASCII surface with XYZ values into Abaqus
I tried Autocad but didn`t work

Any idea?
