Your bite size videos answering these questions are always great to watch. Can't even count the number of tips and tricks I've learned from them over the years. Thanks again!
Hello Peter, thank you for the tutorial. I'm facing an issue with the autoskin tool. When I upload my stl file (which is a vascular network generated with Matlab), I have a faceted body similar to yours with lots of facets, however, when I go to autoskin it actually turns into a solid body but the number of faces remains pretty much the same (hundreds of thousands) so it is completely unmeshable, what can I do? I already tried to use the "merge faces" tool but it takes to long or simply it does not work all over the body. Thank you in advance.
Hello Gabriel, I have 15 videos on converting STL files into more useful geometry that is meshable. Here is the full playlist: th-cam.com/play/PL3ziBY11hnD8qhdkdN2Ct42DunBdpLz1q.html Put your STL file in a .zip file and upload that to your Google Drive or other file sharing site such as OneDrive or Jumpshare. Put a link to that file in your reply here or better still, create a New Post in the General Mechanical section of the Ansys Forum forum.ansys.com/ where I check in most days.
Hi all, I am trying to convert stl file into CAD geometry Followed the same procedure as Peter did. This is the comment I am getting 'Could not generate all patches 14/20, 12 open edges.' How to resolve this? Could you please help
In the Prepare tab, under Analysis, there should be a Volume Extract button. You just specify planar end faces and a seed internal face and Spaceclaim extracts the internal volume.

Another amazing video Peter.

@@ansysfeaexamples9351 Edit: I finally managed to solve the issue, thank you again for the support!
nice vidoe！But In my vesion，cannot find auto surface skin. If transfer them to soild，it has many faces that makes it difficult to select.
Auto Skin is on the Tools tab.
Hi all,
I am trying to convert stl file into CAD geometry
Followed the same procedure as Peter did.
This is the comment I am getting
'Could not generate all patches 14/20, 12 open edges.'
How to resolve this?
Could you please help

@@ansysfeaexamples9351 I have done. Please look into the issue
I am doing the exact same steps but the programe crashes on autoskin
Make sure you Check the STL and clean up any defects before you try autoskin.
Masterpiece tutorial, Definitely it helps me thank you so much. How can I fill its flow domain for CFD analysis?

@@DThorn619 Is it extract full volume inside as the shape of geometry is not uniform.
@@asifraj321 Yes, you get the exact internal volume. @Asad Mirza correctly described the few steps to do this.
Ok, brother.
