CAD Partners

IES programs support commonly used IGES and DXF formats, however, many inconstencies between various programs and the approximations to geometry can make these impractical. With the release of version 6.0 in March 2002 we have partnered with the major CAD vendors to provide a direct memory link between a model open in your CAD package and our CAE software. As of version 6.1, in 3D we support imports from Autodesk, Pro-E, I-deas, Solid Edge and SolidWorks. Talk to our technical support to learn how the development is proceeding for other cases.
