UG Conversion

I heard the Wildffire 2.0 was going to convert UG files .
Has anyone had any experience in converting these files other than step.
The pre production 2.0 has a par_asolid in and out but it seems to just crash
Pro when used, any thoughts would be helpful.

 

Has anybody actually used and got to work the export Parasolids.

 

Hello to all.

I have done some Pro/E (Wildfire) to parasolid conversion just about three
days ago. I have transfred an assembly with about 30-40 parts in it, but it
is true that the form of parts is not wery complex (no free form surfaces,
sheetmetal and plastic parts mostly).

It was my first transfer of this kind, therefore I was not sure of its
succes, therefore I have exported the same assembly also in STEP and IGES
format. The file size is slight bigger as STEP. My partner, who uses UG18,
could not read STEP (According to him this is an UG trouble, he has also
problems exporting STEP from UG), the results from importing parasolid to UG
was almost perfect. Only some surfaces on one part were missed, but this par
has already a rich transformation history (UG18--STEP--Pro/E Wildfire (some
re-work in Pro/E)--Parasolid---UG18), an features I added were untouched, we
didn't see this as critical. All other parts (Partly native Pro/E parts,
partly in Pro/E inported STEP parts, changed in Pro/E (Parts were originated
in UG18)) were transfrred correctly. And yes, I didn't figured out how to
transfer the color of parts. Afterwards all parts were Green in UG!

Because of this good experience I and my partner decided to do the data
excange primarily using parasolid in future.

Pro/E Wildfire acted perfectly stable during transfer



Kind regards

Try taking the prt file and open it with a hex editor. Then delete all
substrings 'patriots'. Should work.
