import solid from STEP

[Smrkoul]

Hi,

when i import solid model from step file (step from Catia V step AP203), MC X3 show error message:

 

"Parasolid kernel interface error: KI error code: 1043 - tolerance is less than parasolid tolerance"

 

Is it bad cofiguration on my side or bad file?

Thanks for help.

What settings have you set for opening the STEP file ? ( Option button next to OK )

Are you bringing in solid and edge curves ? ( 1st choice )

or

surfaces ? ( better to create them form the mastercam solid after importing )

 

Is your tolerance set too fine ? ( try opening them up to say 0.0005" or 0.0010" )

could you be saving the STEP file more coarse than you are importing at? ( saving 0.01" and importing 0.00001" as an example )

 

Do you have Catia translators V4 (.model) or V5 (.CATpart) ? ( these are better )

Smrkoul,

Would it be possible for you to send the file to me ([email protected]) for investigation? I could probably tell you fairly quickly what tolerances are conflicting and why.

Smrkoul,

 

I got the file and I'll let you know what I find.
