Michael & Pilou,

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

Hi Peer,

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.
