The following entities are supported by the Intergraph reader:

 

Systems

The following systems, listed in hierarchical order, are supported and created as assemblies or components:

Generic systems: an assembly is created for each generic system
oRoot systems: an assembly is created for each root system
Plate systems: a component is created for each plate system
Stiffener systems: by default one or more components (depending on the properties you created) are created for each stiffener child geometry; this behavior can be changed based on the .ini option @CreateMultipleComponentsForStiffeners.
ER systems: same as stiffener systems
oBracket systems: an assembly is created for each bracket system
Bracket system child: a component is created for each bracket child
Stiffener systems
oBeam systems: same as stiffener systems
oMember systems: by default a component is created for each member part; this behavior can change based on the .ini option @CreateMultipleComponentsForLinearMembers.

 

Compartments

By default, no compartments are imported. To import them, the @ImportCompartments or @ImportIGESCompartments .ini options should be set.

 

Topological Properties

By default no topological properties are created; this behavior can change based on the .ini option @ImportTopologicalProperties.

 

Plate Geometries

The following plate geometries are supported and created:

Planar
Curved
External (supported just in IGES format)

 

Stiffener/ER/Beam Systems Cross Section

The following stiffer/ER/beam system cross sections are supported and created:

Flat bar
Angle
TBar
IBar
Channel
Round
Rectangular

 

Linear Members

The only member parts that are imported have a straight NURBS as a contour 3D, and a cross section of type round.

 

Materials and Properties

By default, materials and properties are created for the Nastran solver; a different solver can be selected with the .ini option @Solver.

The following properties are created:

For each plate system and bracket child system, a PSHELL property is created.
For stiffener/beam/ER system children, the behavior depends on the analysis type (global or local analysis, see “GUI Options”):
oLocal analysis: By default, a component and a PROD property are created for each ER system child, a component and a PSHELL property are created for each web and flange of stiffener/beam system children.
oGlobal analysis: By default, a component and a PROD property are created for each stiffener/beam/ER system child; if it is longitudinal, then a PBAR property is also created.

By default these properties are not assigned to the corresponding components; this behavior can be changed by using the .ini option @AssignPropertiesToComponents.

Materials are created for plate systems, bracket, stiffener, beam, and ER children; for the Nastran solver, the material created is of type MAT1.
