IGES Writer

The IGES writer allows developers to export B-rep data from Exchange to IGES. The file extensions that you can create when you export the data are:

  • .IGES
  • .IGS

Assembly

The assembly structure is maintained during export.

B-Rep

When we export to IGES we look at the source data and map each surface to one of the following:

  • B-spline surface
  • Cylinder
  • Cone
  • Offset surface
  • Plane
  • Sphere
  • Surface of extrusion
  • Surface of revolution
  • Torus

…and each curve to:

  • B-spline curves
  • Composite curves
  • Circle
  • Ellipse
  • Hyperbola
  • Line
  • Parabola
