How to convert Solid Edge (solidedge,.asm,.par) to OrcaFlex (.yml,sim,.owr)?

PolyTrans|CAD+DCC performs mathematically precise CAD, DCC/Animation, GIS and BIM 3D file conversions into all key downstream 3D packages and file formats. Okino software is used and trusted throughout the world by many tens of thousands of 3D professionals in mission & production critical environments, backed by respectable personal support directly from our core development team.

Solid Edge

Solid Edge is a 3D CAD, parametric feature and synchronous technology solid modeling software developed by Siemens. Some of its distant competitors would be SolidWorks, ProE/Creo, UG NX and Autodesk Inventor.

Okino knows of the Solid Edge software well as it had created one of the very first and still main conversion systems for the software.

Conversion from Solid Edge into Okino software is handled by these 3 ideal methods:

• Via native import of the .par or .asm files,
• Via STEP AP214 or IGES 'BREP solids' files.
• Via JT files exported from Solid Edge.

OrcaFlex

OrcaFlex is a leading package for the dynamic analysis of offshore marine systems. OrcaFlex is renowned for its breadth of technical capability and user friendliness. OrcaFlex is used by offshore engineering business, with others in seismic, defence, ocean engineering, oceanographic research, aquaculture and related fields.

Converting data from Okino's conversion software into OrcaFlex can best be achieved using the DirectX file format, using Okino's bullet-proof DirectX export conversion system. The Orcina WEB site recommends that the exported models not be too large. If you are converting CAD models then you can set the mesh density on each Okino CAD importer. You can also use Okino's CAD-biased polygon reduction system to reduce the models prior to re-export to DirectX file format.
