IGES (Initial Graphic Exchange Specification) Translator Analysis for Autofact '85

摘要

At previous Autofact Conferences there have been floor demonstrations of the Initial Graphic Exchange Specification (IGES) translators. This year, each vendor was invited to process a ''seed'' file and return the results for evaluation prior to the show. This pre-show approach was taken to provide an expert summary in a timely fashion. Automated evaluation techniques were used, where possible, to provide an impartial and in-depth analysis of vendor translator results. The ''seed'' file is a drawing with four views of a three-dimensional turned part. inclusion of surface entities makes this part more complex than the Autofact 6 part. (ERA citation 11:001933)
