Hi all
I'm a M-Phil student at Cambridge working on the biomechanics of the elbow
and I am looking to import CT-Scans of the Humerus, Ulna and Radius into
Pro/E.
I have completed the scans and am awaiting a license for the trial version of mimics to
convert the DICOM files to STL format or IGES.
I am running Pro/Engineer 2001 and my aim is to import these bones into
Pro/E and then Pro/M (motions/integrated mode) to detect misfit and clashes
in the joint.
I am having problems importing STL and IGES files into Pro/E. I have tried
importing basic IGES files into PRO/E for practice but cannot redefine the
features to create a protrusion using quilt. The Use Quilt option is blanked
out for some reason and therefore the iges file remains a surface rather
than a solid.
STL files won't even load into my version of Pro/E. It comes up with an
Prompt for a name for the STL part and then an error message comes up saying
"Could not Read STL file." I am wondering if I am missing a compiler or
plug-in.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your Time
Best Regards
Phil
