Error : Solidworks Part (.sldprt) to Sim CFD

Hi,

 

There is an error message when I save a Solidworks Assembly as a Solidworks Part and I launch the Part in Sim CFD. The model is able to open but I see an error message.

 

"The 2D model is either non-planar or it is not on the Z=0 Plane. Modify the CAD geometry to ensure that the 2D geometry is planar and that its Z coordinate is 0." 

 

It is able to open the Solidworks Assembly with no error messages.

 

Normal Solidworks Parts do not have this error message.

 

May I ask why this is so?

Hi Kaiwei,

 

Is the 2D part on the x-y plane? Also, if you are using the axisymmetric function in CFD, it must also lie on either the x or y axis as you will use this as the axis of rotation.

Personally I always ensure the model begins on one of both of these axes anyway.

 

Kind regards,

Jon

i agree with Jon here. Your assembly may have the part mated to the XY plane (i.e Z=0 offset), whereas when you saved the part it may be either offset from the XY plane by some distance (i.e. Z > 0) or it is planar to some other coordinate plane YZ, XZ.

Thank you for the answer, Apolo and Jon.
