How to export data from different software
CAD files are the source of information for Cortex. Depending on the source software, some features will work or not.
1. PARTS/3D MODEL ANALYSIS OVERVIEW
Generally, AGT Robotics can test customer parts with CORTEX Prime to follow these objectives: Validate the compatibility between the CAD software but mostly how the parts are drawn; Welds: Validate that the welds modeled in the CAD software can be read by Cortex; OR; Validate that the auto-generated welds by CORTEX are located at the right position and with the right size. General accessibility: Validate the overall results (what welds can be done with robots)? Validate main reasons if welds are not supported.
2. GET CAD DATA

2. Find your cad
3. A list of the beam contain in the cad will appear inside the box labeled Assembly
* ***Be aware that importing a cad clean the Assemblies box, so be sure to be done with the assembly that are there before bringing any new cad.****
