How to obtain CATpart files starting from stl file formats in CATIA V5

[@3DComparison]

Updated workflow for the same case study model - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIuknJeYqdmnbdU

Excellent , simple et précis , merci !

[@3DComparison]

Thanks for the comment! Glad you like my CATIA content!

[@3DComparison]

Thank you for the comment, consider to check my updated video regarding this -kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIuknJeYqdmnbdU If you have access to the Quick surface reconstruction workbench in CATIA V5 this workflow will be faster.

[@fouadtahiri6401]

very very helpful thank's when trying to create an automatic surface it give this message: the mesh contain some area not connect

[@3DComparison]

That means your mesh has some areas that are not connected. You need to use Mesh Cleaner and split the mesh in multiple sub elements, The Mesh Cleaner will help you in this process. You can check the following video for this problem. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKDNqIunlMaegsk

[@coopernoble6139]

What is the best way to connect the surfaces and create a solid?

[@3DComparison]

I have addressed this within my newest video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIuknJeYqdmnbdU I would still recommend the automatic surface workflow if you have that workbench within CATIA V5

great work thank you sir💖 💖 💖 💖

[@3DComparison]

Thanks for the support! comments like this make me wanna create more content!

[@MaximusAmerica2605]

Amazing video, thanks

[@3DComparison]

Hello Michael, I`m glad it helped you! Best Regards, 3D Comparison! I will start to create more content related to Catia and SolidWorks!

[@nilsonnascimento9307]

Hello, Very nice video! Congratulations. I have a problem, I cant change or edit the Catpart created, do you know how to solve this problem?

[@3DComparison]

Hello! To edit the surface you need to use generative shape design workbench for tge resulting surface, or shape sculptor initially on the stl file

[@hemantpandey9676]

Please help me..The stl to step file conversion proces is not proceeding at all. It always gets stuck at 0% for almost an hour. Would you please tell me what can be causing the problem ? Thanks.

[@3DComparison]

Hello, usually the step file conversion can take a long time if the model is complex. If you want I can give it a try and have it converted.

[@agustinrichard3077]

H! Great video...I have a little question about where did you go at 10:02... I can't see your muse!! jajajaj best regards! thanks!

[@agustinrichard3077]

Ahaha! Automatic Surface!! Done! Thanks!!!

[@3DComparison]

@@agustinrichard3077 I did notice that the mouse wasn't displayed for some reason. I`ll fix it for the next videos! Glad you managed to find the solution!

[@Vabloath]

6:00 second and better way

[@3DComparison]

Agree, this is the best solution

[@MmetalbikesS]

Hello my friend, i hope you can help me. At 1:40 I can only choose between DMU Space Analytics and DMU Kinematics. Can I somehow enable DMU Optimizer in the settings, or is it because I only got an educational version of Catia? Thank you and thumbs up for the video.

[@3DComparison]

Hello, you need to install the complete version to have acces to all the workbenches. You cannot enable them otherwise.

[@MmetalbikesS]

@@3DComparison Thank you for clarification

[@surajpatil-mo9oo]

I want to learn this. Will you help me

[@3DComparison]

If you can tell me what problems did you encounter, I can help you.

4:14 When I do this step I have a problem. I copy the the master, then minimize the window and open a new part, go into part design. Then when I click "paste" as you do I get the error message "?? paste operation is impossible". Any idea on why ? Also I tried the second method, but when I open the import tab and choose select my file (06:20 in the video), it appears but the "ok" button is unclickable (grey, and nothing happens when i click). If I click on the "Apply" button I get the error Any idea ? Precision : it is a very big STL file. The part where it creates an offset on the surface took my computer about 10 min or more.

[@3DComparison]

It is weird that you receive the message that the paste operation is impossible. I will try to replicate the workflow with a large STL file. I am curios, how big was the STL file? more then 2 mil vertices?

[@uditsharmaification]

I am using a model that has sharp edges and open geometry (it is like the hood of a car). When automatically generating the surface, the corners are becoming rounded instead of retaining the sharpness. Any idea why, and how to resolve this?

[@3DComparison]

Try to increase the automatic surface details so that there will more surfaces that will define the corner.

[@kyodaixgaming9221]

thats a great work, but i cant paste it as it said paste not possible, i already click the define work in object but still paste not possible

[@3DComparison]

Hello, did you manage to fix your problems related to the paste?

[@thejoojoo9999]

I have the same problem. Did you find a solution ?

[@lingpeishi5659]

Hello sir,i have problem in converting stl file to catpart, it tooks very long time to loading..Can u help me on this?

[@3DComparison]

It depends on the complexity of the part, if you want to I can try to process your file and make a video about it.

[@lingpeishi5659]

@@3DComparisonokay,how can i sent u the file?

[@shubhamshastrakar7429]

It doesn't paste there in the part, after copying. Showing Error in pasting

[@3DComparison]

Hello, the error can be either from the mesh (non manifold elements or so, you can check it with Mesh Cleaner) or from the CATIA V5 software version.

[@shashankbhaskar5903]

Hi! That's an amazing tutorial. When I try to paste the .model into the new part file, Catia throws an error which says "?? paste not possible". Can you please help me with this? Thanks in advance.

[@3DComparison]

Check if you have set the "define in work object" on the part that you are trying to copy. You can see this on the Catia tree by rightclicking on the part and then select the define in work object.
