extracting the curve in cartesian format
 

Hi all,

i have the stp. file of a pump. i want to extract the curves of the blade in Cartesian format. i mean the data of the curve should be saved in x,y,z format. how can i do that? in solidworks? catia? or ...

i want to import the curves to turbo grid and cfturbo.

Hi,

the following idea might not the easiest solution.
You could try to mesh the desired curves just with line elements (in the edit mesh menu). And then, export the line mesh in an ascii mesh format of your choice.

With regards,
Sebastian
