Export DWG file into Autodesk CFD

Anonymous — Mon, 23 May 2016 11:13:55 GMT

Good Morning,

I received a file *.DWG. My task is to prepare cooling simulation there so I decided to use Autodesk CFD program. The thing is that I cannot import this file into CFD. I have read some topics but I haven't found a solution for my problem.

I will be very glad if somebody write me what I exactly should do.

Best Regards,

Krystian

P.S: I use Autodesk AutoCAD 2015 and Autodesk CFD 2015 too.

Export a .sat and try importing into CFD - you need a solid 🙂

Just be sure that the model is a solid part and not just made of surfaces 🙂

Hi @Anonymous,

Please export the .dwg file in AutoCad into a .sat file. Then, open CFD and import the .sat file.

currently, .dwg extension is not supported by Autodesk CFD.

Please also make sure that your model is composed of solids (volumes) not only surfaces.

I hope this helps.

Thanks
