Importing iges files in Siemens NX 11

You can import iges files by using iges import function.

Command path: File => import => iges

It is nearly similar to stp import options.

Files tab

Import From: Select the iges file to import. (Click folder box to find iges file in the computer)

Import to Part: Define the iges files will import in an existed file or New file will be created for iges file.

Work Part: The iges file will be inserted in an existing part

New Part: The new part will be created for the stp file.

Data to Import

Model Data: Select which model data will be imported. Unselected data won’t import. (Curves, Surfaces, Solids, Coordinate systems, Product data, PMI)

Advanced

Flatten Assembly: Assembly iges file will open in a single part and all components will be a solid body in the new part. (It might be useful if the model will use in assembly with no change)

Automatic Sewing of Surfaces: Sometimes there might be some tears or gaps between surfaces. “Automatic Sewing of Surfaces” function sews disconnected surfaces.

Optimize: Optimizes model. I prefer to unclick this option. If it is needed to use “Optimize Face” it can be used after the model opened.
