I need ro translate data from Solid Edge .They are big assemblies with thoudsans of parts. It works very well to open directly original sub-assemblies.
I'm not able to open the bigs one : sub-assemblies second level and the general assembly. I tried with parsolid but it is to big (103 MB) and computer crash after try to rebuild hundreds of assemblies (finally empty). Now I have almost all sub-ansemblies and parts but not general and second level ones.
I need a tip how to deal with this kind of problem.

 
With UG, I've had better results importing parasolid than direct. Haven't tried SE.

Are you using a x32 or x64 bit operationg system?

I suspect you are running out of system resources (memory) if you are crashing out of SolidWorks on a x32 bit system.

Hi Anna,
I think your right. I have this message when I try open parasolid file. I use 32bit.
What it will be the approach to this problem?

Get a x64 bit OS system and more system memory. Or have someone else with an x64 bit system open the files for you.
