    Merging IDEAS and UG

    I am pretty sure I-deas is NOT running a parasolid kernel. It would be a huge kernel change. I believe there are no plans to make I-deas native parasolid.

    If you are interested in FE data, why can't you export in nastran, abaqus or ansys or other FE format, and read back in in I-DEAS 8? Maybe that would work for you. AutomotiveDesigner

    Mathematic criterial of CAD Class-A surfaces

    Heres the the best mathematical analysis I can give you. Generally in automotive, Class A surface must be continous, tangent continous and then curvature continous to a certain designated tolerance given by a department. Continous means a two surface edges must mate within a certain tolerance...
