Catia translation
Catia translation
(OP)
Are there any Solid Edge users who have to accept part files from Catia?
What is the best method of accepting files from Catia. The methods of conversion could include STEP, IGES or translated files from a translator (Catia to Solid Edge or Catia to Parasolid etc.)
Is there ever any corrupted data?
Thanks all in advance.

RE: Catia translation
At my last job we tended to use STEP for translated files with IGES the second choice.
At this place my colleague has been mainly using parasolid.
RE: Catia translation
Can't say for certain what it does but it's got to be worth a try (unless you get Catia V5 files).
Otherwise I'd always use STEP for translating solid models.
IGES may be better for surface data.
