Solid works step file conversation

[Aravinthtvt]

While converting a large assembly which have too many parts to step file, it is taking very long time to convert. Is there any way to make it in short time?

FEA Model?

Ask this in the SolidWorks forum...

Aravinthtvt,

I agree with WKTaylor. This is a SolidWorks question.

I have had experience generating and managing large models. This is well documented under SolidWorks.

[li]Keep models as simple as possible. For example, don't use the screw models from McMaster Carr. Model your own simplified fasteners.[/li]
[li]Does your exported model need all of your design detail? Will the end user appreciate all of your detail? Create simplified versions of your assmebly for export.[/li]
[li]Do you have enough RAM in your computer? Is your computer properly configured for SolidWorks?[/li]
[/ul]

As far as I know, mechanical 3D[ ]CAD is the very worst thing you can do to a computer and network. Make sure everything is up to the job.

To reduce the time needed to convert a large assembly to a STEP file, consider simplifying the model by suppressing or removing small, non-critical features and parts. Alternatively, you can try exporting the assembly in smaller subassemblies and then combining the resulting STEP files.
