Importing geometry from solidwork to ICEM CFD

sahil sharma · September 2, 2012, 14:29

Hello guys, please help me !

I have made a simple geometry in solidwork, then i saved that geometry in parasolid file. then i open the ICEM CFD and import this geometry to develop the mesh. but, when geometry imported in ICEM CFD window, it comes as 2D and not the 3d.

How can i see the 3d view of this imported geometry????

Please help

Thank you
