Options for conversion : about
Introduction
In the importation process, the entities of initial file (specific to the geometry / mesh format) are converted into Flux entities (geometric entities of Point, Line ... type). The entities obtained in the Flux file depend on the option chosen for conversion.
Options for conversion
The options for data conversion proposed to the user are of two types:
- general options, valid for all formats (presented in the following paragraph)
- specific options for different formats (presented in the description paragraphs of these formats)
General options
The general options for conversion available for different formats are presented in the table below.
| Option | Choice | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Coordinate system |
XXXi (by default) |
the coordinate system automatically created by Flux for each new data importation in the project where:
|
|
XYZ1 Z_ON_OX Z_ON_OY |
the predefined coordinate systems in Flux | |
| REP_UTI | the coordinate systems created by the user in Flux | |
| Length unit |
meter (by default) |
the default length unit is meter |
| conversion factor |
the unit is computed by means of a conversion factor: meter * conversion factor |
|
| Precision |
automatic (by default) |
the absolute precision is automatically computed by Flux taking into account the device dimensions and the relative precision of 105 . |
| manual | the absolute precision is defined by the user |
Specific options
Other options, more specific, are available for certain formats and are detailed in the description of these formats.
