IGES to SAT
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to IGES and SAT interoperability and exchange that could help you with the IGES to SAT conversion.
IGES File
IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) is the initial file format for the data exchange between different systems e.g. CAD, CAM or CAE. As the geometry data are stored in a text file format, you will get bigger file sizes when exporting triangular meshes with thousands of faces using Autoconverter software. The IGES file format supports color per assembly, but without the alpha component, therefore any transparency setting will be lost in the IGES file.
SAT ACIS File
SAT (Standard ACIS Text) is an ASCII file format to store 3D model geometry that precisely describes the real objects, developed and maintained up till now by the Spatial company. The SAT file format is supported by the majority of 3D modeling and CAD software and can be used to successfully exchange 3D data between different systems, e.g. AutoCAD & Solidworks. Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application software allow you to convert mesh based geometry to a true solid shape saved in the SAT file.
