Hello,
I am trying to open a DXF file in Robot and analyze the following structure:
But although I can open the file in Robot nothing appears. After I set the parameters for loading the DXF files, the merge structure window appears, but there is no structure created.
Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you.
It looks like a dxf made from faces? (as opposed to lines/ploylines)
You need to make the geometry with line elements, then it should work OK

Robot can import from dxf \ dwg lines, polylines, arc, circles, faces and meshes
The profiles are made with sweep. This is why I can't import them in Robot?
Do I need to draw the centerlines of each profile? And if so, will they be defined as bars in Robot?
Thank you.
And if so, will they be defined as bars in Robot?
Lines, polylines, arec circles - yes, as bars
Are you able to save it as ACIS \ sat file? IF so it can be imported to robot as shell panels or solids
Ok. I've done that. I have only centerlines in the dwg file. I have saved it as dxf file from Autocad, but when I try to open it in Robot, I recieve an error : Error in loading file '' .
Do you know why?
