STEP Importer

The STEP importer includes various format-specific settings.

Format Specific Setup

Setting	Description
Load Structure Only	Only With a value of TRUE, read and return only the tree of the assembly in a model file. [default: false]
Prefer Product Name	The name of the occurrence is the one defined by PRODUCT. Otherwise it is the one defined by NEXT_ASSEMBLY_USAGE_OCCURRENCE. [default: true]
Occurrence Name Rule	In case of prefering product name is unchecked, indicate which name to use from NEXT_ASSEMBLY_USAGE_OCCURRENCE Id Name Description [default]
Prefer First Color	In case a geometry has several colors, prefer the first one. [default: false]
Code Page Name	The code page to use to convert text to Unicode. These values follow the format used by the libiconv GNU Package. For example, "EUC-JP" for Japanese files. [default: none]
Split Open Shells	Split open shells into several bodies. [default: true]
Heal Orientations	Activate orientation healing on the modelfile. Reading time will be longer. [default: false]

Format Specific Validation Setup

Setting	Description
Read Validation Properties	Read validation properties from the file. Only available with AP242. If this parameter is not checked then the rest of the properties are disabled. [default: true]
Compute Validation Properties	This will compute validation properties and compare them with the ones read from de the file. Only available with AP242. [default: true]
Add Result To Name	Keywords OK or FAIL will be added to the name of the item that has validation properties. [default: false]
Validation Properties Threshold	Set the precision to use for validation properties comparison. If user selects to setup threshold values, the rest of the widgets in this section are enabled. [default: false]
Volume (%)	Threshold for volume of solids comparison. [range: 0.001 to 100, default: 90.0]
Surface Area (%)	Threshold for surface of solids comparison. [range: 0.001 to 100, default: 90.0]
Independent Surface Area (%)	Threshold for surface of surfaces comparison. [range: 0.001 to 100, default: 90.0]
Independent Curve Length (%)	Threshold for length of curves comparison. [range: 0.001 to 100, default: 90.0]
Deviation Centroid (mm)	Threshold for centroid of solids comparison. [default: 1.0]
Independent Deviation Surface Centroid (mm)	Threshold for centroid of surfaces comparison. [default: 1.0]
Independent Deviation Curve Centroid (mm)	Threshold for centroid of curves comparison. [default: 1.0]
Independent Deviation Point Set Centroid (mm)	Threshold for centroid of points set comparison. [default: 1.0]
Deviation Bounding Box (mm)	Threshold for bounding box of any geometry comparison. [default: 1.0]
Total Affected Area (%)	Total area of the faces or surfaces the PMI is attached to, comparison threshold. [range: 0.001 to 100, default: 90.0]
Total Affected Curve Length (%)	Total curve length of the edges or curves the PMI is attached to, comparison threshold. [range: 0.001 to 100, default: 90.0]
Total Curve Length (%)	Total length of the PMI wireframe part comparison threshold. [range: 0.001 to 100, default: 90.0]
Total Surface Area (%)	Total surface of the PMI tessellated part comparison threshold. [range: 0.001 to 100, default: 90.0]
Curve Centroid (mm)	Centroid of the PMI wireframe part comparison threshold. [default: 1.0]
Surface Centroid (mm)	Centroid of the PMI tessellated part comparison threshold. [default: 1.0]
Notional Solids Centroid (mm)	Centroid of the assembly comparison threshold. [default: 1.0]
