Meshing Question CATIA V5 to .msh
- Thread starter Topper
- Start date
Like Topper I try to design my ship in Catia V5 and convert the data to .msh .
Here is what I tried (maybe someone is able to tell me why it doesn't work
):
I saved the model in Catia as .wrl .
I imported the .wrl into Blender.
In Blender I used the orbiter addon to export to .msh .
I tried to look at the Mesh with MeshWizzard but it won't open.
MeshWizzard crashes with the the error message:
Run time error: '6'
Overflow
It's my first try to create a ship. So I don't really know what I am doing.
@Topper:
Have you found a answer, yet?

Can't you also export from CATIA to STL? The STL format is pretty easy to convert into MSH, both formats have similarities.

A little addition to my previous post:
After exporting the Mesh out of Blender I used Shipedit, which can be found in the utils folder of orbitersdk. I used the function Calc/Check mesh. As far as I can see, that seemed to repair the mesh. It should probably work that way.
