2001 UGM Gambit: Tips Tricks June 4, 2001 Shyam Kishor Outline Data exchange with other CAD/CAE systems Clean-up and Construction strategies Useful Tips New Features of Gambit 2.0 Data exchange with other CAD/CAE systems Direct options Standard-based options Importing meshes and faceted geometry CAD-to-Gambit flowchart summaries Direct Options - 1 ACIS-based CAD programs: e.g., AutoCAD, Cadkey, TurboCad Can export ACIS files (.sat or .sab) which can be imported into Gambit. ACIS version compatibility Gambit typically employs recent ACIS rev. (ACIS 6.3 for Gambit 2.0) Gambit can import and export older versions of ACIS. Parasolid -based CAD programs: e.g., Unigraphics, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, PATRAN, ANSYS Can export Parasolid files (.x_t .xmt_txt) which can be imported into Gambit Parasolid version compatibility Gambit can import and export most versions up through 11.1 Direct Options - 2 Direct (single-stage) translators for native CAD systems e.g., Pro-E/ACIS, Catia/ACIS Available from various vendors (see for full listing) Standard - based Options Use of neutral file format to exchange data STEP IGES Data exchange via STEP STEP (STandard for the Exchange of Product model data) : International standard that defines a neutral file format for the exchange of geometric, topologic, and annotation data. Most CAD programs include STEP export Pro/ENGINEER at no additional cost Most others as an add on Both STEP AP203 and STEP AP214 are supported by Gambit Better than IGES STEP supports solid models Creates real Gambit (ACIS) volumes after import. Topology/connectivity-related information is maintained STEP export Exports real geometry, including solid volumes Data exchange via IGES IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) Files: Most CAD programs can export IGES files. Topology/connectivity information is lost when CAD programs export IGES surface data only. Some CAD packages export IGES-solids as well as IGES-surfaces. I-DEAS and CADDS Topology/connect
