zombiaska is on a distinguished road
My friend is an engineer and he has CAD format drawings. Next step is to use those drawings in Ansys Fluent modelling.

He can convert to these formats and I use for reading and meshing Icem CFD 12.0.1:
IGES
STEP
PARASOLID
ACIS

I checked STEP and PARASOLID. I am new at modelling and I couldn't see the difference. Maybe anyone could name what flaws comes up and what problems occur?

As I read forum I understood that the best formats are Parasolid and worst step and iges, but I can't tell the difference.
