    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,

    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.
