Same as DesignModeler, SpaceClaim plays nice inside Ansys Workbench.Īfter going through the tutorials, here are my top tips I find useful: You could stitch it together to create a solid, then save it as a STL file. Say you get an IGES file and it only imports as surfaces. Learning DesignModeler has been such a significant learning commitment that giving it up becomes difficult.Ī little known fact: the software could be accessed for free without feature restriction for personal education via the Ansys Student. I believe the reason why some hold back from switching is due to the sunk cost fallacy. To those, I would implore you to give SpaceClaim a try. There are some who are still sticking to DesignModeler as their cleanup tool of choice. From the title, you could infer my feelings towards this nifty tool offered by Ansys.
