When importing the geometry into DesignModeler (DM), I see the error message "Model size is out of range". How can I get the model to successfully read into DM?


While importing the CAD geometry into DM, the program will use a block centered at the origin with radius as 500 meter to block the geometry that is outside of this block region. This is the limitation of the parasolid engine. So when the geometry is created, try to center the geometry at the origin. If the geometry dimension exceeds 1000 meters, then export the geometry as an ACIS file. Launch DM with unit as the Meter. When importing the ACIS file into DM, select Model Units to mm or any other suitable units to scale the geometry down so that the geometry can be imported successfully. After the geometry is in DM, you can scale the geoemtry up to the right dimension.
