import together made in soldworks

[serbring]

Bye to all,

What is the best way to import a set made with solidworks? I tried to save the iges, but I find myself with one block. with step there are the various parts in the specification tree but there is nothing and the parts are all visible. Is there a special procedure for importing an aid? Is there a more suitable extension to do this?

Thank you.

when stepping out make sure you set the right options.

I had already tried to export in step203, but unfortunately geometry is as if it was a single block and I can't make much of it.. is it normal?

Well try the other formats you have on the list. I'm sorry, but I don't remember the abbreviations.

I have done tests with both iges and with step and the structure of assembly is transferred correctly also surfaces and solids are correctly transferred ("as volume these last"), but if you expect to find the tree structure of the individual features of the parts......discuss it!:biggrin: there would not be so many cad!:smile: if you would use a geometrie interchange format

Hi.

I really don't like this, that's exactly what I needed. I had thought of making geometry with solidworks because I use it and then import it into vlab, which uses it as a catia interface. I was told that it is catia for customers and therefore has limited features, but my geometry is nothing strange, I used exclusively extrusions, extruded cuts, mirrors and nothing more. I am of the idea that if each cad could open all the functions in files created by others, perhaps at least the big companies would have more than one cad because they would use cad to do certain things, proe to make others. This is my feeling

hi serbring,

another format that can go well to export a set is parasolid but the history of solid does not keep it with any export file except with the native.

:wink:

I don't know what cat configuration you have ("for customer" I don't know exactly what it is) however in part environment you could find the toolbar for the feature recognition and so if your particular is not so complex you can reconstruct the imported model with features.
Moreover there are also other instruments that integrate in cad of different structure, the rule always remains that the import is the volume.
no other format can transfer geometries, otherwise it did not make sense to introduce explicit modeling (v6, synchronous technology simens, creo di pro-e...ecc).

then to dialogue a bit at a time of bar, from my point of view the cads do all the same things (it does not exist for me to say that pro-e does things that catia does not do or that nx does latre) also because the algorithms that are below are for all the same, so the difference is how these tools integrate, with other aspects of the design cam cae pdm, and how these can adapt to customize a given flow of work.
I do not think that if there was a writing format of the unique geometries there would be more cad, indeed there would be a monopoly! (mister window would be a poor guy) would be a billion-dollar business and I don't know what currency to use!
I think it is better that it is so because at least the difference still makes the user or group of users using that tool.

I don't know what catia configuration you have ("for customer" I don't know what it is)

is not catia is a reduced catia version that dessault produces for companies that need a graphic interface from cad. for example virtual lab is based on this version of caia and I also believe abaqus being always produced by dessault, but I am not sure having never used it.

However in part environment you can find the feature recognition toolbar and so if your particular is not so complex you can reconstruct the imported model, with features.
Moreover there are also other instruments that integrate in cad of different structure, the rule always remains that the import is the volume.
no other format can transfer geometries, otherwise it did not make sense to introduce explicit modeling (v6, synchronous technology simens, creo di pro-e...ecc).

Can you tell me what this feature is called in English, please?
sincerely I didn't know there was this special feature of catia, tomorrow morning I will try to see if it is present in the virtual lab casket. However now I have a better estimate of my geometry by virtue of some calculations I have done and therefore I should change it. a colleague told me that I could also try to recalculate geometry from the parts made. Say it's a good idea?

Hi.

Why do you say that if the various cads are interchangeable, there would be only one cad?

toolbar and figure, however also the possibility to reconstruct the model through the recreation of all features is an alternative.
I would eventually add the possibility not to completely reconstruct the model but only the parts to be changed using the removal function of the faces, so you delete the parts of the model you do not need and rebuild them new.

because business would be in the hands of one entity.

Hi.

This function is not present in my software perhaps because my software is based on catia v4. is located in catia v5, perhaps in my company there is a license of catia v5, but then always the unknown of being able to import it in catia v4.
