IGES Toolbox

Converts parameter data in IGES file into a Matlab object.

Description

Toolbox for working with IGES CAD-models in Matlab. The Matlab function ‘iges2matlab’ converts parameter data in IGES file into a Matlab object. Other functions in the toolbox do plots, transformations, projections.

Non Windows user must first compile the source code. This is done in Matlab by running:

makeIGESmex

and the mex functions are compiled.

Fantastic job!
I've just opened a CATIA CAD file, converted into IGES using Hypermesh and then loaded it into Matlab. That's great!

Need bspeval.dll for Windows x64. Could you please submit the source files too?

[bruce bi]

This is what I need. Thank You!

[Kava Crosson]

Needs better documentation about projection parameters. Otherwise very impressive.

Can you provide a little more infomation on the application of retSrfCrvPnt. I am trying to extract an array of data for a surface i have imported. Many thanks

[Ernest West]

I have the same question above. I just want to be able to obtain the data points of a simple rectangle from IGES to matlab

[Snahungshu]

Is it 2D plot only??

Hi, all

I am using NURBS Toolbox and IGES reader for MATLAB. The IGES reader is supposed to read IGES files from CAD softwares and extract geometric info from it. When i try to extract entities 126 and 128 (which correspond to NURBS Curves and surface). I am getting inconsistent results.

for example.

when extracting NURBS from a Cylinder IGS file from solidworks, I am getting no surface at all. When i use Rhino 3D i get a nurbs surface which looks like a cylinder but it's not Circular in shape like the IGES file.

I need to extract a proper NURBS surface that looks exactly like the IGS file
