Hi there,
The context of my question is this:
I have an existing model model on OpenVSP, an aerospace prototyping software. I have exported a mesh from Openvsp into a .stl file.
I imported the .stl file into Creo Parametric 3.0, which resulted in a facet feature.
Despite being a facet feature, when I go Analysis>mass properties>preview, It gives me a volume and a mass. I don't understand this as I thought I just imported a "mesh" type file which does not have an assigned volume. The only explanation I can think of is that Creo automatically assigned a volume when I imported the file. How do I fix this?
My goal is to add a specific thickness to the surfaces and assign densities for a mass model.
To do this, I assume I have to somehow convert the facet into a solid, which I'm not sure is possible or not?
Thank you,
Joe
