Investigation of IGES for CAD/CAE data transfer

The intent of this work is to present test data on translating design product data from a CAD/CAE system to itself and to translate data initially prepared in IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) format to various native design formats. This information can be utilized in planning potential procurement and developing a design discipline within the CAD/CAE community. IGES problems are discussed along with test procedures.<
