Problems with Shrink Wrap

[Anonymous]

Hello Comunity

I am new to CAD software but I need to use it to one of my projects. I am working with .stl files that I created  in a numerical computation program.

I used the add in of Inventor "mesh enabler" to create a body/composite from the previous created mesh.

After this I want to merge into a single body the mesh and the button (see attachments), for this I tried to use Shrink Wrap/simplified part but this options delete the button and maintain the mesh. Can you tell me why this occurs and how can i solve this?

In the attachments are the mesh and the button and i want to create a single body from this two parts.

Can you help me?

My best Regards

Hi Goncalo, 

Mesh geometries are not supported for Shrink-wrap, it's better to convert Mesh to BREP geometries. You can try mesh tools and try to make a real solid before Shrink-wrap.

Here is a link for you to have a overview about Mesh handling.

Hope it helps!

But the mesh enabler transform the mesh into a solid, do you think that the problem can be from the file botao, after Shrink wrap only the botao part disappears

The problem was in the file botao, thanks for your help and keep with the good work.

A big hug for the comunity and enjoy 😉
