Export to CATIA V4 (Windows only)

Create a ‘skin’ and ’offsetting’ to create solid geometry from imported Alias models.

Note:

Stitched geometry saved to an Alias wire file cannot be unstitched to its original state.

  1. Stitch the surfaces to perform a visual check to confirm there are no gaps.
  2. Undo the stitch operation.
  3. Save the Alias wire file.
  4. Stitch the surfaces again.
  5. Export the stitched object to a CAI file.
    Note:

    Geometry not stitched prior to export from Alias will not automatically create a skin upon import into CATIA.

    Review the summary of modeling practices as a quick reference guide if problems arise. See CATIA Requirements.
