*.iges or *.dxf transform to *.gf (GHS)

Hi
I have a question to the fileformat GHS.
Does anybody know a freeware that transforms *.iges or *.dxf (Inventor) to *.gf (GHS)?
Or which import and export steps are required to get out a GHS-file?

Thanks sorbit

If you can find someone with a copy of Rhino it does a great job. Not free.

Hi Sorbit,
If you have GHS, you can try their model converter on the DXF file.
Thanks,
-Steve

GHS export

If you use Freeship 2.6 for your design the GHS export works great if you have enough stations to describe all details.

Hi smartbight.
I have already designed parts in Inventor 9 and this parts I wont to transform into GHS. The parts I have created are very complex and particular and so it is not so easy do describe it with few stations.

I only want to analys my parts to the influence of heeling with the result of erectile-moment. This should be done by ArchimedesMB but this Programm only Import GHS-files.

So thats my problem. thanks

Sorbit you can do it by hand, instead of waiting for something "free" to do it the easy way.
