Import and edit a NURBS from a .stp or .igs file to Matlab

Hello everyone,

So my problem is writting in the title .

I have already studied this point:

- the use of .igs format and I found the IGES Toolbox to import with Iges2Matlab and get with Getsurfacedistributedpoints : http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/13253-iges-toolbox/content/getSurfaceDistributedPoints.m

the points of the surface with their local coordinates , however I don't understand very well the inputs required by this function.

I am currently looking for a library to import a .stp file in matlab .

Could you help me , please?

Thank you

Hi,

I recently uploaded a respective library for importing (trimmed) NURBS surfaces as .stp-files:

Hopefully it helps.

Best, Michael
