Part files can be uploaded to a Project. Depending on the App, basic parts files can also be generated from specified parameters.
To view a Geometry setup demo, go to the Media page.
The following topics are covered on this page (Clicking on a link will open a new page):
The following file types are currently supported:
Support for these file formats is coming to the app soon, but is not yet available:
Please note the following:
The process to export files as STL is outlined here. The methods outline are using two different software packages.
You will be able to import any file type that Onshape supports into our app, by first uploading that file to an Onshape document, then following the process listed here to import it into the app.
The TS Truck App has geometry pre-loaded into the app. The geometry will include: the trailer, tractor, wheels for both the trailer and tractor, and gears. An optional generic side-skirt on the trailer is also available in the app. You would have the choice to design your own side-skirt or turn on the one included. The included geometry will allow you to focus on designing aerodynamic features for CFD simulations. The features you design would need to be in the same coordinate system as the geometry files below. Your features would also need to be "attached" to the vehicle in the provided files. You do not need to upload any of the included geometry into the app.
Also do note that when inputting your design geometry (skirt panels, tail panels) they should have a thickness of >= 5 mm.
You would be able to download the included geometry from this Google Drive. The file formats available are .stl, .step, and .igs. The units for the geometry files are in meter units.

Geometries can be created while viewing a Project.
Note: Part file names can not start with any number or special characters
Note: As mentioned at the top of this page, the file types that are supported include: .stl, .mesh, coming soon: .step, and iges.
View the newly created/uploaded part by clicking on the part then selecting Show 3D View button under the options for the part, then go to the tab that is automatically opened at the top. It is a good habit to view each part to be sure they were uploaded properly. If the geometry did not upload properly, it will not load in the view screen.
