help parasolid

[rachel22]

hi!


I'm an industrial designer andI would like to get some information about Parasolid to translate from UG to PRO ENGINEER also i would like to know how works this type of translator.

Pro/E uses the Granite One kernel. They do have a module that will allow you to open a UG file directly into Wildfire. It isn't cheap and it does require UG to be loaded on the workstation that is running Pro/E.


Another option is to export the file from UG/NX as either Parasolid or STEP and then open this file directly in Pro/E.


What CAD software do you have available to work with?

hi looslib!


The CAD software i have available to work with is UG/NX and PROE but i can't use the direct translation because i haven't got the license, so i prefer the second option. Also i have CATIA but this CAD doesn't work with parasolid.


i would like to know how can i see the parameters of parasolid in both programs and if i could set the tolerance values to obtain a successfully translation


Thank you very much

I can tell you that everytime I translate from Pro/E to UG I end up losing a lot of surfaces in the parasolid.

But when I translate the file via Step, I end up with the complete solid. So I use Step exclusively now.

hi mikeschn!


Thanks, but i have to do the translation with parasolid format, i have done with STEP and IGES and it works well, but now i need to do it with parasolidand i need some information about how it works.
