Interface for Rhino in Pro/ENGINEER

This GRANITE based, import-only processor is introduced for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 (M140) as a free download. The plug-in is included in the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 (M010 and later) installation.

Interface for Rhino in Pro/ENGINEER allows Pro/ENGINEER users to import data directly from native Rhinoceros version 1.0 through 4.0 files. This processor imports boundary representation surfaces, facet data, curves, and colors from *.3dm files.

Capabilities

  • Import native files from Rhinoceros versions 1.0 through 4.0
  • Import datum curves, colors, boundary representation data and facet data
  • Create separate import and facet features for boundary representation and facet data respectively within a single Pro/ENGINEER part
  • Interpret Rhinoceros layers to create a flat Pro/ENGINEER assembly structure with individual parts for each Rhinoceros layer

Benefits

  • Increased efficiency over neutral format (STEP, IGES) translation
  • Represent Rhino data as a Pro/ENGINEER flat assembly structure
  • Edit imported facet and boundary representation data independently, within the same part

Downloads

Note: No special installation steps are necessary for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 as this plug-in is installed by default from the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 (M010 or later) installation CDs. Please refer to the Interface for Rhino installation instructions for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0.
