I've been using SW for 22 years. Lately, I have had to translate some medium smallish sized assy's into STEP files. This smallish sized assy took 33/41 minutes to translate.
If I translate to ParaSolid X_T, it takes about 11 seconds. I understand that the SW platform is built on the parasolid kernel, which makes for a much better, faster, more accurate translation.
So my question is, have you experienced very long wait times for STEP 214 file translation?
Here is more info:
- Windows 10 (latest service pack)
- SW 2019, SP4
- One year old.DELL Intel 2.90 GHz Laptop Xeon processor, 32 gig error correcting ram, Nvidia (Quadro P3200) (about $3,300 computer)
- The parts are about the size of a couple shoe boxes. Plastic injected molded, with lots of ribs, small radii and draft. But no curvy swoopy stuff, mostly flat and round features.
- 25 unique part files
Here is a screen shot of the Task Manager while its converting:
Thank you for any help you may give me,
