The ACIS option converts an ACIS file (*.sat) to a Geometry file (*.tin) and loads it.
Note: This option is available only on Linux. On Windows, it requires a supplemental install and you need to enable beta options.
Tip: The Import Model option includes readers for the latest releases of supported third-party products and may be a better route to import ACIS models.
Select an ACIS file in the file browser window, and click .
The Import Sizes From Tetin File window will open where you can select a previously setup version of the model, if available, and transfer parts and mesh parameters to the newly imported geometry. This saves time that would have been spent setting up the new model.
- Model / Family mesh params
are used to set global mesh settings.
- Surface families, mesh params
will put the imported surface entities into parts (same as the original) and assign surface based mesh parameters.
- Curve families, mesh params
will put the imported curve entities into parts (same as the original) and assign curve based mesh parameters.
- Point families / Material families
will put the imported point or material entities into parts (same as the original). Point and material entities do not support mesh parameters.
Note: These surface/curve/point entity options are based on the entity names matching between the source file and the imported file.
