Format Support: Visualize 3D IGES Data with Afanche3D
IGES format ( Initial Graphics Exchange Specification ) is a vendor neutral data format that allows the digital exchange of information among CAD, CAE, CAM, PLM, MCAD systems. It is widely supported by almost all 3D applications including CATIA, Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, NX, ProE (PTC Creo, ProEngineer), and many others. The file extension of IGES data model could be .igs or .iges. Afanche3D provides full support of IGES file. It is capable of displaying both 2D and 3D IGES data file.
