How to convert a file from .igs to Parasolid using CATIA and Creo?
Convert a file from .igs to Parasolid using CATIA and Creo: To convert a file from .igs to Parasolid, we require tools named CATIA & Creo. Both in CATIA and Creo, the modeling of a part takes place. but If you are importing a model into the ANSYS for Analysis then we need to convert the model from .igs to Parasolid by using this two modeling software. In this article, I am going to publish a step by step procedure about How to convert a file from “.igs to Parasolid” using CATIA & Creo.
Convert a file from .igs to Parasolid using CATIA and Creo-Procedure
When a solid model was constructed in CATIA, it has been sent to ANSYS to do the Analysis.
After Modelling through CATIA, it has to be saved in .igs format to a particular location in the Pc.
Now enter into the Creo. Import the geometry so as to convert the file from .igs to Parasolid.
Only the files with Parasolid format enters into the Ansys database to do the further Analysis.
By doing this procedure only we can convert a model from .igs to Parasolid format which later imported into Ansys for further Analysis.
