Importing Cooling Systems

[Anonymous]

What are the best ways to import cooling channels from Catia. Currently improting as an Iges files as centre lines.

[Paul.Larter]

Hello, Importing the .iges centre lines is the normal way to import a cooling circuit. The process will import each segment of the cooling system as a centre or axis line. You can then apply the properties of a Channel to the import centre lines. For baffles and bubblers you may have to modify the lines (curves as we call them in Synergy) so they are modelled correctly for Synergy.

Once the properties have been set you can mesh you circuit at the recommened 2.5 to 3 times the diameter.

Hello Joe, I recieved your support request and was in the process of replying when I saw Pauls response. I will attach a document  with some images of what you require , basically you want the curves to be broken at all intersections  so that they can be specified a particular property.  You can delete any curves that are not associated with the cooling line direction only keepm the curves that define the direction of the coolant

Hello Joe,  I have responded to your question via the product support process but other may be interested in the information I sent. Importing cooling lines as an IGES file certainly saves you a lot of time but there are a few minor things that you have to watch out for. The attached word document gives a idea of how it all works

hi

how we can adjust newly imported parts with respect to the already imported parts ( geometrically)

Hi,
to reorient a geometry in Synergy (Moldflow UI), Ribbon style:
Geometry > Move
This is the Move/Copy command to reorient a geometry in different ways:
Translate, Rotate, 3 Points Rotate, Scale, Reflect
