Note: This option is available only on Linux. On Windows, it requires a supplemental install and you need to enable beta options.
The option converts a STEP/IGES file to a Geometry file (*.tin) and loads it.
The following options are available for importing STEP/IGES geometry.
- Tetin File
specifies the required path to save the Tetin file by clicking on the icon.
- Use Version 5.1 Step Translator
allows you to translate the file using Ansys ICEM CFD 5.1 parameters.
- Create part name from STEP/IGES file
If multiple STEP/IGES files are opened at once, this option will create the part names in the converted geometry file from the STEP/IGES files.
- Merge geometry files after conversion
If multiple STEP/IGES files are opened at once, this option will merge the multiple geometry files after conversion.
- Ignore units
if enabled, the units specified in the import file will be disregarded and meters are assumed to be the length unit.
- Use healing
if enabled, the Parasolid Kernel attempts healing on the IGES geometry (bodies, surfaces, and loops) before sending it to the IGES translator.
