How to convert Unigraphics NX (UG NX) to IronCAD?


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.

     

Unigraphics NX

Unigraphics NX, or just "NX" is a BREP solids modelling software package with roots that go back to the early 1980s. In 2002 the prior Unigraphics and I-DEAS software packages were merged to create the next generation of solids modelling software called just "NX".

In terms of Okino sales, UG NX comes in within the top 3 of most requested MCAD solids modelling file conversions, along with SolidWorks and ProEngineer/Creo, even if they all focus on slightly different markets.

In simple terms, the best and most reliable way to transfer data from UG NX to Okino software is with the STEP AP214 file format. Other methods include JT files and Parasolid files.

     

IronCAD

IronCAD is 3D and 2D CAD design package focused mainly on the mechanical design market. It uses both Parasolid and ACIS modeling kernels to provide computational methods for solving geometric calculations such as calculating blends and shells.

Okino knows of IronCAD well as it used to be called Trispectives, developed by 3D Eye, prior to its August 1998 v1.4 release date.

Converting from IronCAD into Okino software can be handled by STEP AP214, IGES solids, Parasolid, ACIS SAT, VRML2, HOOPS HSF, STL and Wavefront OBJ.

Converting from Okino software into IronCAD can be handled in one of many ways, such as: DXF, STL, VRML and Wavefront OBJ.
