The following page provides you with possible solutions in case you encounter an incorrect import of your CAD file into Speos.

Solution 1: Correcting errors in CAD

Solution 2: Deactivating Always use SpaceClaim's reader when possible

  1. In Speos, click File > Speos Options
  2. Expand the File Options tab, and select Workbench.
  3. Deactivate the option Always use SpaceClaim's reader when possible.

  4. Import the file again.

Solution 3:Export/Import Optical Part Design (OPD) Geometry in *.CATPart

Exporting an OPD Geometry in *.CATPart file then re-importing the *.CATPart file may deteriorate the original geometry. You may face then with a geometry that could differ from the original one.

To avoid such issues, export your OPD geometry in *.STEP file.
