What it does
The Agent can guide a conversion from another 3D CAD format to STEP and check the resulting solid, units, orientation, holes and key dimensions.
Topic
Convert CAD formats for analysis
Use the right conversion path when a CAD part is not yet in a format that can be analyzed reliably.
Ask the Agent
This file is not ready for analysis. Help me convert it to STEP, then check the solid, units, bounding box, holes and key dimensions against the original.
Typical answer
Analysis complete Example result
manufacturing analysis / result
Convert the source 3D CAD file to STEP, then verify the result is a usable solid before analysis.
The conversion step is only a format bridge. It does not repair a bad model or replace the check against the original CAD file.
Convert
Open the source part in a CAD tool and export a STEP solid, keeping units and orientation unchanged.
Verify
Check solid status, units, bounding box, holes and key dimensions against the original model.
Do not assume
An STL mesh, drawing image or incomplete export is not equivalent to a valid STEP solid.
