Hi,

I'm looking for a converter to convert objects or meshes from Gambit (from
Fluent.inc) to povray. As the Gambit manual states it can export geometry
as ACIS, Parasolid, IGES, STEP, Catia V4 and Meshes: Fidap Neutral,
Uns/Rampant/Fluent, Nekton, Ansys, Generic Neutral.

Has anybody expericence to convert some of the formats to povray?

Kind regards
Wolfgang

Hi, I had the same question about converting IGES files to POV files and
tried to use 3DWin, but I've been unable to import IGES with it.  According
to the product description at tb-software.com, 3DWin does not import IGES
(though it exports them).

Is there a newer (or older) version out there somewhere that has this
capability that I am missing?

Or does anyone know of another method of getting IGES files to POV?

Thanks.
