Export of .stl file in AutoCad Inventor
I need to export the blade that I’ve modeled in Qblade as a file .stl, to import this file in Autocad Inventor. If I change the number of chordwise points when I export the stl file from Qblade, the file will not work on the CAD software and all I can see (when I import it in Inventor) is just some random points and straight lines. But if I don’t change the number of chordwise points, leaving the default value, everything works properly. Instead, I’ve no problem when I change the number of spanwise points and everyting still work with any number of spanwise points.
The problem is that more chordwise points are needed to obtain a smoother leading edge. I hope someone can give me some advice to fix this problem.
Thank you.
Hello Nicolo,
I am not sure what the issue is on your side. Which version of QBlade are you using?
I can export working .stl geometries for any resolution with QBlade 2.0.7.7, see the screenshot.
Maybe try a different mesh viewer, such as Meshlab.
BR,
David
