This is just one of the many mesh centric enhancements that SOLIDWORKS has added in SOLIDWORKS 2019 and we look forward to sharing the new features from SOLIDWORKS 2020, available in beta now, as soon as we learn more about them. Then that end user will have a much better experience with your data getting you renderings, animations, and 3d printed models with texturing faster than before. Now that you have converted that to a mesh body of your choicing you can save the file as an OBJ/3ds/ STL/VRML without going to the export options. If you are exporting to Solidworks or Siemens NX, we recommend using the Parasolid format so that no translations are needed. Export: Add an Export Part block and choose your save location and file type, either STEP or Parasolid. While researching the command you will find an “Advanced Mesh Refinement” area by having that on and turning on “Define Maximum Element Size” you can then control the mesh to a uniform and more square mesh.īy sliding the “Define Maximum Element Size” to the right you will get a more dense and uniform mesh. Convert to CAD: Convert the refined (or un-refined), quad mesh, into a CAD Body using the CAD Body from Mesh block. When you do this you have control over how the mesh is generated off the solid body. You can now take a solid model and convert it into a mesh body. With SOLIDWORKS 2019 we added an ability to help with that. Then they would sometimes need to use complicated retopology tools to get the 3d models to a uniform square-shaped mesh. Half the time that would be fine, but many times the artist wants to animate or even sculpt physical textures on a surface with tools like Z-Brush or Mudbox, which prefer a four-sided mesh. The window for processing and building the model does not appear at all. Because it is a natural file for SOLIDWORKS, it takes much faster to save, also opening without translation is very fast. For example, convtosolid won't work on a 2D solid but it convtosurface will. The only right choice is to save in PARASOLID, which is a native format for SOLIDWORKS, since the program is based on the parasolid kernel. Keep in mind they won't convert everything. If you are looking for one command for each of these to convert them to a 3D object you can try. And this is because the triangular mesh can sometimes cause long splinter like triangles on the mesh. It is difficult to convert 2D objects to 3D objects. Typically, when they receive a mesh formatted file from SOLIDWORKS they are not very happy with the default export from the meshing process. When this happens, they either ask for an OBJ/STL/VRML format and maybe STEP / IGES if they are a little more advanced with file conversion.
But sometimes we must outsource rendering, animations, and or surface sculpting to other departments and firms.

When it comes to design software SOLIDWORKS is great and so is its rendering and animation capabilities.
