Export part file to iges, igs

Export part file to iges, igs

Export part file to iges, igs

(OP)
Hi,
I have a frame.par file that contains a 3D sketch of lines representing a car space frame.

I want to export the frame.par to a FE software such as ANSYS for modeling.

I cannot export the frame.par file to another extension such as iges, igs,...etc. An error states that the file contains no solid bodies.

Any suggestions are appreciated
Thanks,
Hesham

RE: Export part file to iges, igs

Hi,
By default, when you export a file as iges, only solid body are exported. But when you have selected your format, you have access to an option menu that enable you to export curve/skecth.
Best regards.

Thank you Sebastian,
However, I have no solid bodies in my file, therefore I am getting an error message and no files are exported.
