This task shows you how to import into a
CATPart document the contents of a document created in STRIM or STYLER
applications.
V5 provides a direct interface from STRIM or STYLER to V5, which operates
on STRIM and STYLER native format files. |
|
V5 running on UNIX accepts models from any STRIM or STYLER version, whereas V5 running on Windows accepts only models from STRIM version 4.2.1 and higher. | |
|
|
|
After the recovery of TDG files, V5 generates:
and an error file (name_of_file.err) . These files are created in a location referenced by
|
The geometry of STRIM and STYLER models retrieved in V5 is
the following:
Please note some specific translation characteristics:
Original model display services such as:
are retrieved in the resulting CATPart. Attributes are processed as follows:
