Limitations

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

• The interface translates 3D geometric elements only.

• BOUN and DRAW elements are not translated.

• Element names are not translated.

• Element attributes are not translated.

• Primitives are translated in millimeter units only.

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

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