Full Version: face names in exported step

Show messages: All  1-2  3-6

Hi Peer, it doesn't look like the STEP library tries to read or write a name attribute on faces.

Do you know of a program that supports it? If so can you make an example file?

Thanks, - Michael

Michael & Pilou,

Supposedly NX, SolidWorks, and Fusion do this. I found the following example from an NX export on another forum:

#79=ADVANCED_FACE('LOADSURFACE1',(#55,#56,#57,#58,#59,#60),#44,.F.);

However, Pilou's RGB color code workaround might just work. I'll give that a try.

This is for marking boundary condition faces for finite element analysis.

I've updated MoI v5's STEP input/export so it should now support name labels on ADVANCED_FACE entities.

Wow thanks Michael! That'll be a great help for data transfer.
