Cubit 15.7 User Documentation
CUBIT can export geometry to the STEP format, an emerging standard for storing geometry and other information. The STEP AP203 and STEP AP214 standards are supported. It is recommended to use AP214 for exchange of geometry information with CUBIT. The command used to export a STEP file is:
Export Step 'filename' [<geometry_entity_list>] [Logfile ['filename'] [Display]] [Overwrite]
As with ACIS file export, you can specify which individual entities to export. If unspecified, all ACIS entities are exported.
The logfile option is used to save information regarding the conversion to STEP format. This information saved to a file with the name specified by the user, or named 'step_export.log' by default. When running the GUI version of CUBIT, the logfile can be displayed in a dialog window by using the display option.
The overwrite option works the same as with ACIS file export.
See Importing STEP Files for information on setting up the STEP import and export functionality.
Note that the STEP import and export functionality might not be available on all 64-bit platforms.
