export axles profiles

[lupoalberto99]

I write to everyone, because I need to export from a model in solid together the only axis lines of the profiles that obstitute it: pipes, tubulars, angles etc and then import them into a calculation model for verification. the output files should be autocad, ascii or step.

These elements do not have their axes, unless you create them specially, so first of all you have to build all the elements through structural elements i.e. starting from a sketch that represents the path of the various elements and therefore the axes.
as then it will be extrapolated the sketch this, or these if more than one, it will have to be done as accurately and optimal as possible so that subsequently post export corrections are minimal.
However, the sketch and the model can be more ways to manage the only sketch: the most obvious thing is that, verified that the model is correct, to suspend all functions that create solids; if it is not feasible because some sketches are bound to solids you can simply use the function deletes bodies and physically eliminate solids.
for export you create a design of the part and you check to have the sketch of the visible path both within the part and as display annotations.

said this,a further solution is to start from the aid by creating in its environment a single 3d sketch by binding it to the elements concerned; this solution allows a precise and clean management of the axes to be exported therefore with a post export correction almost nothing. Perhaps in this case it is possible also an export step or acis (not ascii), but it is necessary to find the way to eliminate solids

I found a different solution by chance: saving the part by name in iges or dxf only visible bodies are exported plus all sketches, so wanting to export only sketches just hide all bodies.

good solution that avoids going through the design environment.
But in this case you have to be careful if there are other sketches that you do not want to export; should be solved by creating a configuration in which to leave active the only sketches to export and suspend all others

♪wolfalberto99 Congratulations, ask a question and in 5 days you don't even deserve to visit the site to read the answers... Who did you see him?

when you are in delivery there is no time even to shave if it is for this... the problem has been solved by exporting in tekla the model in ifc, at this point tekla recognizes the objects as its natives and it is therefore possible to export in dxf the baricentric lines of the same. ps the answer I read from the email thanks to all
