Context:
Before you export a part, you must display the part that you want to export in the current viewport. You can export only the geometry of a part; orphan elements, if they exist, are not included in the exported part.
In the current viewport, display the part that you wish to export.
From the main menu bar, select .
The Export Part dialog box appears.
From the File Filter menu at the bottom of the Export Part dialog box, select the file format.
Abaqus/CAE lists all the files in the selected directory with the appropriate file extension.
Select the file to which you want to export the part, or type the name of a new file in the File Name text field, and click OK.
If you are exporting a part to an IGES file, Abaqus/CAE displays the IGES Flavors dialog box. Do the following:
- Choose one of the following flavors with which to write the IGES file:
-
Standard
-
AutoCAD
-
Solid Works
-
JAMA
- Click OK.
Abaqus/CAE tailors the internal representation of the IGES file to match the format expected by the selected application. By default, Abaqus/CAE exports a part in a Standard format. Abaqus/CAE writes all of the geometry data to a single layer in the IGES file.
