imported solid mirror error

[zanzot]

Hello, everyone.
I have to mirror an imported solid in stl format. when the amount solidworks recognizes me part of all functions while another part appoints it only as "imported 3" (it actually says that this features contains import errors). When I go to mirror the whole imported object, the latter is not allowed.
the mentioned error is: "only the functions of union can be mirrored"
Has anyone ever had such a problem? How can I get around it?
Thank you for your help.
If someone wants to help me, I can send the file. .
Thank you very much

hello zanzot sends the file I'll take a look at.

Enter the software version in the proflo
If you can post the foul file, don't wait to be prayed. in this case stl and solid
attach screenshot of the problem including the feature manager of the function because to understand a problem you need to understand how you did the operation. Recreing a blind problem is always complicated and it is impossible to have in the head tens of cases of various errors.

Back to us.
Did you do import diagnostics?
Does it mean you tried to rebuild them?
Are you mirroring in model or environment together?
Are you mirroring functions or bodies?

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

hypothesis:
It may be that you are mirroring the imported functions that due to the surrounding geometry, probably made up of unfair surfaces with import diagnostics, would create a disunited geometry.
you need to mirror the bodies by disable the union of solids

 

[zanzot]

Okay, but how do I have to disable that function?

Have you read the post #3?

Have you read the post #3?

You have to apologize, but I haven't seen the post.
immediately

I looked at it a little bit in effect if I remove the solid union option works! !
Thank you so much!
I now set the complete engine set.. It is a duchy1098r.:biggrin:

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

it is more correct to mirror the bodies than functions.

 

[zanzot]

I mean? I mirrored the functions.
Anyway, I would have another problem. I have never worked with imported step files so now I am a little confused.
Now I'm assembling the engine and the chassis. I basically create the couplings between the various faces and while I have the working window of the open axle everything works properly, the couplings can be created without problems. However once I close solidworks and save it when I reopen my set all the matings made are lost: some faces are no longer found. Why does that happen? I press that they select always rebuild but nothing changes.

I think you're missing the basics.

I basically create the couplings between the various faces and while I have the working window of the open axieme everything works properly, the couplings can be created without problems.

couplings can only be created in the environment together.

once I close solidworks and save it when I reopen my set all the matings made are lost: some faces are no longer found.

and here it takes a telepath, but of those strong x-men, to understand what happens. is amazing how you can forget the tips said a few posts above and read a few hours before.
as I have already written in post#3 Recreing a blind problem is always complicated and it is impossible to have in the head tens of cases of various errors. I add that those who have been using the program for a long time, and are typically those who respond, do it correctly and make certain mistakes or made them in the early years or do not even know what they are.
place files, pictures, videos something from which you understand what you are doing

 

[zanzot]

I knew you would answer me so I responded quickly because I was busy. I would not understand much. I should spend the whole package together. I've been using it for 4 years regularly. definitely not at your levels but I give up... Anyway, you told me it would be better to mirror solids and not individual functions. is the result not identical if every single function is mirrored? Maybe you told me that because this thing can generate mistakes.
Anyway . for the second problem I think I understand.. As I have imported geometries and not functions to create individual parts, when I go to mating, these are lost to each subsequent reopening of the file (unsubstantial missing suface error). I don't know how to explain. That's what sw is. However, I solved a little drastic. I created single planes and axes (I had to couple only cylinders) by changing the individual parts of the assembly and then I coupled through the plans created instead of directly the surfaces .

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

is the result not identical if every single function is mirrored? Maybe you told me that because this thing can generate mistakes.

Mirrors functions if you have material subtraction functions or if you work on a unique and not multibody body.
But if one shot asks me how to disability the solid union in the mirroring (among other things defining it function instead of option) and then write I mean? to my statement that it is better to mirror the bodies, some doubt about your knowledge of the program came to me. I'm wrong and I'm sorry.
I have coupled with imported bodies endless voles (cuscinets, cylinders, engines... and all that the sites of producers allow to download) and never happened to me like that. If you turn blessed stl (the best formats to import are iges and step) maybe you can give an occhaita (and in the first post you said that on kind request you could also post it. How many times have you been asked? one explicitly and two indirectly. . . )
