Preparation of models for CAD data exchange

For several reasons it's often possible to achieve better results in exchanging CAD data between systems, if the models are adequately prepared in the source system.

Each CAD system offers certain possibilities for modelling and internal data representation which distinguishes them from other systems. This differences can lead to problems during the exchange of CAD data between the systems. Examples are local accuracy changes in Unigraphics or differences within the maximal allowed length of file names.

Geometrical and topological mistakes may occur during the design on a model. They remain undetected in the source system. But these mistakes are often the reason for losses in the target system.
