JT, ACIS, PRC Formats

Similar dialogs are used for JT, ACIS and PRC formats.

For JT Format you can additionally specify JT Version.

Data organization. Specifies the export type:

Assembly. The model is exported with assembly hierarchy, if it exists.

Set of Bodies. The model is exported without assembly hierarchy.

Entity Types to Export group

Solids. The option enables solid bodies export. The object type is preserved.

Sheets. The option enables sheet bodies export. The object type is preserved.

Wires. The option enables export of wired body.

3D Images. The option enables export of 3D images. Object will be exported as tessellation. In case of a solid both solid geometry and tessellation will be exported so it is not necessary to specify this option.

3D Nodes. The option enables 3D nodes export. The object type is preserved.

Annotations. The option enables 3D annotations. Type of objects in STEP is an annotation.

Welds. The option enables welds export. Welds are converted into bodies.

Curves. The option enables paths export. Paths are converted into wire geometry.

Profiles. The option enables profiles export. Closed profiles are converted into sheet bodies. Non-closed profiles are converted into wire geometry. Only closed formats export is available for JT and ACIS formats.

Options.

Color. Allows to select one of the following color sources: Material or Shading. In the first case the scattering color of material (is specified in the material parameters in T-FLEX CAD) is exported. Otherwise, shading is exported.

Simplify geometry. The option, if possible, removes the redundant topology of the exported model bodies. As a result the size of the output file is reduced. The option does not change the quality of the model.

For example, it can be "extra" ribs, breaking a cylindrical surface into segments. With this option the export time and memory consumption are increased.
