Importing parasolid files
Importing parasolid files
(OP)
Hello,
I have solid edge V18. I am trying to import an solidworks assembly into S/E. When I try to open it, it says the parasolid body could not be extracted. I guess this because I am using an older version of solid edge which is not compatible with latest Solid Works format.
Is there a way around this. It would save a lot of time building sub assemblies. Many Thanks

I'm surprised that SE cannot import SW format files, because SW can import SE format files.

For the parasolid translation just open a SE model and Save As then Options to see the versions that SE18 can use.

SEv18 was around in about 2007, so if the Solid Works file is a version later than that you will not be able to import it directly.
