I have a CT scan of a human skull. I´ve edited, performing a maxillary orthognathic surgery (Le Fort I), and added two plates with 4 screws each. I´ve export this set as a whole and separated with each item in .STL.
When I add this set to any FEM software, the files do not open. In fact they open but no image appears and I cant get to manipulate, edit, do nothing with these files.
Anyone knows what am I doing wrong? Do I have to solidify? I´m using FreeCAD, Blender and mainly Meshmixer.
Ricardo Grillo I recommend changing the geometry to solid and checking what formats the mesher is compatible with. I used Meshmixer to process geometry from CT images and then from CAD programs from the ANSYS package, and it worked without any problems. Examples are available in the articles on my profile.
Try changing saving the models in a different format readable by blender then re-open or you could send the work to a 3D Generalist and send the modifications to be done. also am a part time 3D Generalist at Gicmed If you need help you cou can contact me
Krystian Jędrzejczak, is there any software to check if my STL edition is OK? before sending it to ANSYS or other software? Despite meshmixer has the "inspector", some flaws do not appear in this tool.
I used SpaceClaim from ANSYS to detect errors and correct them.
