CAD difficulties

January 8, 2003, 13:26

Hello! I'm having some problems dealing with CAD importing to StarCD. I'm using SolidWorks to generate an airfoil (or wing). At this point I'm sure that the points that I inserted into SolidWorks are correct.

After this I export the data to an IGES file so I can import it to EZSurf.

After I opened the file in EZSurf how can I be sure that all the points are there? Could there be a loss of accuracy in treating CAD in EZSurf? Or when exporting to *.dbs?

Thanks

Have you tried STAR-Works? This works in the native solidworks environment
