Massive Unigraphics assy into ProE part

[daveyk_belgium]

I have now worked for two large organisations that have severe problems using massive Unigraphics assemblies inside Pro/ENGINEER.<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />

Third-parties are the design responsibles for modules used within our systems, and they use some Unigraphics.

We need to include the geometry of their modules in our systems, but it needs to be manageable (speed/display), and solid. Solid geometry is required to allow us to do interference checking and generate cross-sections.

I can successfully import a Unigraphics assembly into a Pro/ENGINEER assembly, the resulting ProE assembly being completely solid.

Why don

Keep the imported files outside of the database and trim them down to only include what is actually needed. Export and import the file as a .prt file, then put 1 file in your database.
