Exporting GeoDict Models to CAD Formats with CADlook
PDF tutorial
Computer-aided design (CAD) is the basis for numerous digital processes such as computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), and additive manufacturing. GeoDict enables these CAD models to be simulated directly as macroscopic structures, e.g., filters.
Equally important is the export of GeoDict structures to common CAD formats so that the created models can be reused in other software solutions. In addition to native export formats (STL, VRML, OBJ), GeoDict also supports industry formats such as STEP, IGES, and Parasolid via the CADlook add-on software.
In this tutorial you will learn step-by-step:
- Installing CADlook: Setting up the additional software for CAD export.
- CAD export from GeoDict: Exporting structures to common CAD formats for further processing.
- Practical example: Exporting a GeoDict structure and importing it into ANSYS Fluent for flow simulations.
This tutorial is intended for engineers and developers who want to integrate GeoDict into a continuous digital product development process.
