1) Is there a way to export material properties whne exporting a STEP file in the AP214 format?
Using NX 9 at the moment.
Reading about the AP214 format it shows that the file is capable of storing that information.
Within the STEP export the line items would look like this:
#250=PROPERTY_DEFINITION('material property','material name',#170);
#251=DESCRIPTIVE_REPRESENTATION_ITEM('AMS4928',titanium 6-4');
#252=REPRESENTATION('material name',(#251),#162);
#253=PROPERTY_DEFINITION_REPRESENTATION(#250,#252);
/* Assignment of density (2.0) to the material */
#300=PROPERTY_DEFINITION('material property','density of part',#170);
#301=MEASURE_REPRESENTATION_ITEM('density measure',POSITIVE_RATIO_MEASURE(2.0),#500);
#302=REPRESENTATION('density',(#301),#162);
#303=PROPERTY_DEFINITION_REPRESENTATION(#300,#302);
/* Mass and Density unit definitions for the unit context */
/* Mass unit [Pounds] Note: 1 kg = 2.206 lb */
#400=(MASS_UNIT() NAMED_UNIT(*) SI_UNIT(.KILO.,.GRAM.));
#401=DIMENSIONAL_EXPONENTS(0.E0,1.E0,0.E0,0.E0,0.E0,0.E0,0.E0);
#402=MASS_MEASURE_WITH_UNIT(MASS_MEASURE(4.536E-1),
#400);
#403=(CONVERSION_BASED_UNIT('POUND',#402)MASS_UNIT()NAMED_UNIT(#401));
I can't seem to find any option to tell NX to add that information along with the STEP export.
2) Also if I were to re-import that STEP file would NX read the material properties with that import?
Thanks
