Generalities
Introduction
Only one type of import is possible with Flux PEEC: the import of geometries described in the most common formats of the mechanical CAD.
Import of geometries
The import of geometries consists in transforming geometric elements in entities compatible with the Flux PEEC environment. The user is then required to check the imported geometry and correct any faults that may be present.
Import formats
The following table summarizes the different file formats accepted in Flux PEEC.
| Available file formats | Extension | Type of format |
|---|---|---|
| IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) | *.IGES, *.IGS | standard |
| STEP (Standard for Exchange of Product) | *.STEP, *.STP | |
| SAT | *.SAT | proprietary |
| CATIA v5 |
*.CATPRODUCT *.CATPART |

| Pro/E (Pro Engineer) | *.ASM, *.PRT |
Type of accepted file
For importation Flux PEEC accepts only files in text format. The binary files are not accepted.
Multiple importation
Multiple importations are available. Flux PEEC is able to import files with different formats (IGES, STEP, etc) in the same project.
