diverse shape translation to JT or STP

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.

Welcome to the very first video on Cad Thinkers. This video is a beginner level video of a simple part designed on ZW3D. We will be looking at how to create a file and a part and then we will move on to creating Sketches and solid modelling tools. This is my first video so I apologise in advance for and minor mistakes and mispronunciation of certain words. I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on ZW3D, please visit : https://www.zwsoft.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can also follow Cad Thinkers at: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cadthinkers/ Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CADThinkers/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CadThinkers Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.pt/cadthinkers/ GrabCad: https://grabcad.com/cad.thinkers-1

The conceptual model creation is described in the following article: IVANOVA, Ioana and Stefka NENOVA, Computer Graphics as a Means of Increasing the Quality of Military Education, Report, Sofia: Yearbook of the Military Academy, 2013, pp. 141-155; http://rnda.armf.bg/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Binder-1-322.pdf; ИВАНОВА, Йоана и Стефка НЕНОВА, Компютърната графика като средство за повишаване качеството на военното образование, Доклад, София: Годишник на Военна академия, 2013, стр. 141- 155, http://rnda.armf.bg/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Binder-1-322.pdf ANIMATION PROCESSES: 1. Animating the model: it is performed by creating keyframes in the track under the working space that can be adjusted, changed and deleted. 2. Animating a camera: it is analogously to step 1. 3. Rendering process: it is required to be completed before saving the final image or animation in a desired format.

Proper Method to Produce Lobster-back Duct Bends
lawrie
in
Drafting

1
Beginner
One type of industrial component I have been involved with the design and manufacture of is lobster-back bends. This type of duct bend is made up of segments cut from flat sheets or plates, rolled into cylindrical parts, then assembled. These can be light sheet-metal or manufactured from thick plate. This quick tutorial is a supplement to the one I produced an outline of a method I have used modeling this type of component using Alibre Design. As this supplement concerns producing parts ready for manufacture and applies to whatever software you have used, that is not important as this short tutorial is to outline turning your modeled bend into the flat profile ready to be made into the completed bend. In this modern world, the bend parts will be cut out using CNC laser, or CNC Plasma cutting machines. Sometimes we produce the nc programs ourselves or we are required to produce the correct files for the laser / plasma department to program and cut out. Making the program to cut out the parts starts normally from a 2D dxf file at a scale of 1 : 1. This is the first part of the process that has to be correct. If you produce this dxf incorrectly the finished parts will be useless. Producing this at the right scale, 1 : 1 is different with different 3D cad applications, other problems can be caused by you working in different drawing units. If you are not doing the program, talk to the person who is to make sure you produce the dxf as required. Having a large quantity of wrongly cut parts is not a good thing
