Modeling of Sieve

Submitted by shaik on Thu, 03/21/2024 - 14:57

Hi Everyone,

I am analyzing a sieve geometry for particle transfer. The CAD model of sieve plate is complicate with around 1 Mio. of tessellated faces. Hence, reading and "import and parallelization" of this taking huge amount of time. Is there any alternate way to speed up this time? I can't use the recently introduced model "massflow/mesh/sieve" fix command because most of modelling data require here is unknown.
I also tried converting the STL file to VTK using Paraview tool but it also did not work.
Any suggestion that I can try?

Regards
