Supported Entities
Entities supported by the
FORAN reader:
- All entities supported by the STEP reader
- Model hierarchy and organization from the XML file
The FORAN reader requires a STEP (.stp) file and a correspondingly named
FORAN XML (.xml) file to
exist in the same directory. It reads data from the STEP file using the STEP reader
and then reads the FORAN XML file to generate the
relevant model hierarchy and organization.
Import Options
The FORAN reader uses the
ct_reader.ini file and has the same options as the STEP
reader.
Supported Metadata
The
FORAN reader generates the same metadata as the
STEP reader, with some additional metadata generated from the
FORAN XML file.
