Exporting surface plot to Iges or 3D model.

Exporting surface plot to Iges or 3D model.

Hello,

Im interested in exporting surface plots from Mathcad as 3d models such as iges, parasolid, or a step file. to open in Solidworks.

Anybody know it this is possible?

I can't think of any way to do this, even after searching the web for some additional tools that might help. If you figure it out please let me know though, because I could also use this capability.

Your question is "multi-implicit/explicit"

1. SolidWorks is the American version of the M. Dassault CATIA

2. It should take *. prn, but the specific "Mathcad *.prn" ?

3. Could you plug a piece of code to models all and any like Mathcad "CreateMesh"

Answer: it should [consult your program expert] .

CATIA (at least) has the ability to import a table of points via macros; we use that to input airfoil coordinates. By extrapolation, your surface could be transferred as a table of points--your surface would not be exactly the same since you're at the mercy of the fitting algorithm, but it would be close.

We have catia in our facility. But I am a Solidworks user myself. Can explain how I can import a table of points into Catia?

Thank you
