Hi,
New here. Has anyone used Blender 3D to model the geometry and successfully imported to any commercial FEA software? Thanks back to school...Penn State Indian Students |

Using this, (triangulated surfaces ) You can input your geometry to many commercial as well as open source meshers... : GMSH, tetgen, netgen, snappyHexMesh ( an hexahedral adaptive mesher with boundary layer refinement used in OpenFOAM to mesh external flow domains ), or cgx (the mesher of calculix ) just to name a few. With the mesh formats created by these, you can feed your solver, wether FEA or CFD with a meshed domain and proceed with your analysis. Actually, I think that blender is unbeatable in generating some kinds of shapes... car shapes for instance... by what i have seen in YouTube... ..although its learning curve is rather steep, it is worth it... ...believe me.. You DO NOT want to create a sportscar bodyworks from scratch using lofted sections like you do in Pro Engineer, or Autodesk Inventor, I have been there... it can be overwhelming :-( many days of work to to design my "wunderwagen" :-) as compared to some hours of work to do the same in blender... You better do it in Rhino, Icem-Surf or Autodesk Maya... ( non OSS ) or in Blender ... the most complete of them all , and OSS... :-) Best regards Alex |
