Having trouble exporting IGES files to solids
Having trouble exporting IGES files to solids
(OP)
NX 7.5.2.5
The iges files I create to export to Catia V5 R18 come in as trimmed sheet bodies, not unparamaterized solids. The Step file translator for Catia isn't an option as the company won't purchase it for Catia.

Also check with the Catia translator, perhaps it also has an "automatic sew" option.

"Well, it seems that I have answered my own question. So for anyone who is having the same problem, this is the response from EDS tech support:
It can't be done. The IGES export only exports surfaces and curves. Not solids. There is however a feature to stitch surfaces into solids from an IGES file. The tolerances need to be set very low, however.
The only way to export a true solid is through a Parasolid or a STEP file."
