When importing a CAD file into Machine Expert Twin you ever were wondering about this window?
Let’s find out what is behind.
A CAD file usually contains many individual objects, each of which is represented by a 3D model, or mesh. When importing the CAD file there is the question: Do I want to keep these objects separated in my Machine Expert Twin project?
Let’s assume, I’m about to import a model of a Lexium Cobot. To assign the kinematic axes to the model afterwards, I do need the individual arms of the Cobot as separate objects. So, I select “Yes”, to split the file into its meshes in Machine Expert Twin as it is defined priorly in the CAD file.
We have put together a video showing the CAD import as a MultiMesh with the Cobot and a Cartesian multi-axis system. Watch the step-by-step guide and see how it relates.
