What file format will allow my assemblies to have movements?
I received an IGES file from my supplier for a Palletizing CAD model Robot, they do not use SolidWorks.
I need to move the joints of this robot and could not do it with this IGES file format.
Does anyone here know which file format will allow me to do these joints movements; IGES / STL / STEP / ACIS-SAT?
Thanks

What should I do? I really do prefer to work with the IGES format.

Are you saying you cannot move anything?

Thanks again.

It is of a Panel/Door Latch. When it is opened in SW, an assy and sub-assy complete with parts is created. The parts are not mated. When the sub-assy is opened, the parts can be moved. Mates can be applied to limit movement.
HeavenlySolid ... Is your IGES file opening as an assy or as a multi-body part? If it is an assy, you do not need to save individual files. They should be created automatically when saving the imported IGES file as a SW assy.

RE: What file format will allow my assemblies to have movements?
I'm done with the assembly and it works just fine, I'm able to move each of the 5 joints with ease, with the mouse of course.
Question:
I'm not that strong using the Simulation tool inside SW when it comes to move all of these 5 joints.
Is anyone here kind enough to download this robot file and give some random movements to all of these joints for me to practice and learn more?
I will appreciate all your help on this.
RE: What file format will allow my assemblies to have movements?
I've not used the Simulation tool much so would welcome the opportunity to practice for a useful purpose.
See FAQ559-1177 for posting details.
Also I would like to see the original IGES file you have.

I'm still interested in seeing that IGES file though.

Are you sure you cannot "Save As" 2004 version?

Yes I'm sure ... very few solid modelling programs can save to an earlier version.
