rhino 4.0 to maxsurf

hello all

thank you

 

Hi Robin!

Did you check naked edges before the export?

If there are some gaps between surfaces it might be problem to get the model working in maxsurf.

Here are some links that WILL help you :

The lastest version is supposed to import trimmed surfaces, but with earlier versions the trimming info is not used and you have to either create an untrimmed surface first or trim it in Maxsurf.

As velipekka says you also need to fix any naked edges for maxsurf hydro calcs to work.

 

I think there are some solutions if you dont have maxsurf 12 or more.
you can take sectional curves along the trimmed surface in rhino. Then delet the surface and make the new surface by lofting the curves. then to trimmed surface will not apear in maxsurf.

 

Thank above

my maxsurf is v11 , i think that is the key of question
