diverse shape translation to JT or STP

Translations

Have found a way to import / translate easy shape files like 3ds, wrl, skp, stl, ifc and so on into JT or STP. The shape files can have texture or not. My interest was how to get the shape files with texture translated to JT. For this, I use PCon Planner and save as 3DS. After this, import it into MeshLab (single texture file / no layer) and save it as WRL (VRML 2). This is than easy to import into Teamcenter Livecyle Visualisation (TCVis) and save as JT. If you like to have more imported WRL/JT files into TCvis (JT2Go) please rename the texture or the view results in TCVis (JT2Go) are bad, looks like unplaced textures. If you like to export files with not a texture another way is to use. The fast one with no colours is to save as stl and import it into your volume modeller. The longer way is here to import it into PCon after this save as Skp (Sketchup) and now is to use Automapki (~40 $ or € / year sorry no freeware I have found) and save as STP file. The result you can now import into a volume modeller and use it there or (and) save it as JT and many other files too. Hope you like this tutorial a bit. If you have any questions please let me know.

How to Open Your Model in KeyShot
KeyShot

Intermediate
Within GrabCAD, you have a pulldown in the model viewing screen with the option to Open with KeyShot. When a model is open inside a project of the Workbench interface, you and any collaborators will see a Open With menu above the model in the upper right corner. With a single click, members of the project are able to select Open with KeyShot to launch and open the model directly inside KeyShot. With KeyShot installed, the model will open immediately inside the KeyShot realtime rendering environment. A video of the functionality can be viewed here. Once you have your model in KeyShot, you're ready to render! To get started quickly, see the quick tips and tutorials available here: http://keyshot.com/learning/

In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the process of creating a circular heat shield in Alibre Design Expert using the Sheet Metal environment. We'll focus on the Bend Only option of the Flange command, demonstrating how to use it twice in a row to make the material form a circle. This technique allows the radius of the formed circle to be collinear with the tab from which the flange originated... Roughly...

Let us tell you about the "Generator Triangle" method. This educational video unveils a straightforward technique to construct regular polygons using a single variable. Witness triangles seamlessly transform into polygons with adjustable sides. Explore parametric design principles as we dissect the process. With interactive visuals, grasp the method's accessibility for all learners. Ideal for students, artists, and those curious about the synergy of creativity and logic. Join us to demystify theoretical geometry, revealing practical polygon creation through "The Little Triangle That Could."

As the title suggests, I have watched Woody Allen's amazing commentary on Sex and the socio-biological ramifications of it. But back to SheetMetal in CAD. In this video, you will find everything you need to get started making Sheet Metal parts, making good parts and doing it reliably by verifying your design as you go along.
