Limitations for Exporting MEI

The following limitations affect the transfer of information from a Model module to a STEP AP203 format.

1. The interface translates 3D geometric elements only

2. BOUN and DRAW elements are not translated

3. Element names are not translated

4. Element attributes are not translated

5. Primitives are translated in millimeter units only

6. Hull items that are modelled (drawn) by generic primitives, are exported as faceted primitives. For example, curved plate parts are currently exported as faceted solids.

A general cylinder (Extrusion) that intersects or touches itself is not exported. For example, some types of flanges in holes.
