STEP/IGES Import (ANSYS SpaceClaim)
Watertight neutral 3D CAD data translation.
Definition
In ANSYS SpaceClaim, STEP/IGES Import represents a core architectural mechanism. The import engine designed to load STEP, IGES, and Parasolid files, preserving precise geometric boundaries.
Why it matters
Mastering STEP/IGES Import is critical for production-grade deliverables. Guarantees seamless data transition, allowing engineers to import and edit client designs with zero geometry loss.
Common pitfalls
- Importing models with large tolerances, causing solids to split into open surfaces.
- Ignoring metadata schemas.
This concept is a core structural element of the ANSYS SpaceClaim drafting and engineering environment developed by ANSYS. A high-speed direct 3D modeler built to prepare, clean, and simplify geometry for finite element analysis.
