FROM CATIA V5 TO MAXSURF

Hi everyone,


I'm currently facing issues transferring a hull model from CATIA V5 to Maxsurf. Despite several attempts, I haven't been able to get the hull to display correctly in Maxsurf.


I tried using Rhino as an intermediate step: exporting from CATIA in IGES and STEP formats, importing into Rhino, then exporting again as IGES, 3DM, or DXF. Unfortunately, Maxsurf either doesn't recognize the geometry properly or fails to import it.


I’m reaching out to ask:


  • Has anyone successfully transferred a hull from CATIA V5 to Maxsurf?
