Subject: Shell model preprocessing (was ANSA and importing 3D models to AN SYS
Author: Michael Goelzer

Hi Folks!

There recently were some discussions on importing CAD models as well as on
other preprocessors.

I would be very interested how others handle large shell mesh assemlies
generated in a CAD package.
Is there any preprocessor or tool available like the much discussed
Hypermesh, Ansa or Thinkpeak's toolbox that can produce shell midsurfaces as
well as shell mesh connections between parts in reasonable short time? An
absolute plus would be if this tool might even be able to export the shell
mesh as well as the solid geometry, still connected together for
modifications inside of Ansys.
Btw- we currently use Pro/Mesh which isn't too bad for this but still need
very much time for preprocessing.
Thanks,
