Just wondering if it is possible to import 3D point data (points in 3D space) from Solidworks? I would like to make a 3D sketch line drawing and then import into
CAESAR II
. Only the element displacements will be imported and this is fine, I will fill in the remaining spreadsheet entries manually.
Thanks
I doubt that you can do that. If I understand you correctly you plan to export sketch only. That means you do not have any pipes and fittings. Check what Richard says. I have taken SolidWorx models (sometimes with difficulty) into AutoCAD/CadWorx. There you can make 3D polyline and autoroute it. Such line is easy to get to CAESAR II. Only problem is that you need AutoCAD and CadWorx.
If I remember correctly SolidWorx has pipe module. Instead of the sketch only try making pipeline and then try Richard's proposal.
