Dear all,
My friend sent me a CAD file created in CATIA. I use CATIA generated the STL file and imported it into another software, but the geometry seems wrong.
I tried to generated an IGS file in CATIA and imported it into Pro/Engineering to generated a STL file. The two STL files generated by CATIA and Pro/E are totally different.
It seems the CAD file created by CATIA mainly consists of curves rather than solid objects. Therefore, when Pro/E imported the file into STL format, only those solid objects are retained.
I never used CATIA before, can someone explain why the stl files generated by CATIA and Pro/E are so different?
For some reason, I cannot upload the file. Please check the http://db.tt/cPrjiwE and download it. It contains the CATIApart file, and two STL files named "complete with feeds modified.stl" and "complete_with_feeds_modified.stl" generated by CATIA and Pro/E respectively.
Thanks a lot!!!
Jason
