Create
Ansoft® and Pro-E® compatible Boundaries
from DXF Files
Prepare 2D drawing data for use in Ansoft’s Maxwell
software with CDS’s Edge Solid Designer..
Many
powerful tools are also provided to convert
overlapping solid entities to composite outlines.
The Makeedge program
converts many overlapping entities to a single 0-width
closed polyline boundary. The boundaries may be
exported in DXF format to analysis software such as ANSOFT or PRO
Engineer.
The Lineclean and Autojoin commands may be used to clean up lines and join them into closed boundaries. It removes overlapping and duplicate lines and arcs. Boundary data may be converted to fill data using the Flood, Filledge and Fillblock commands. This converts polyfill type data to vector fill type data.
Key
