Read an IGES file#

IGES (.iges / .igs) is one of the older neutral CAD interchange formats, still common for legacy mechanical hand-offs and turbomachinery. pyvista_cad.read_iges wraps pyiges and tessellates analytic surfaces with geomdl.

This example uses a real centrifugal impeller exported from SolidWorks to IGES (MIT, pyiges) and pushes beyond a load+plot demo by computing surface curvature, the kind of analysis turbomachinery engineers routinely run on imported IGES geometry.

import numpy as np
import pyvista as pv

import pyvista_cad
from pyvista_cad.examples import downloads

Load the real impeller. surfaces=True tessellates every analytic B-spline surface; lines=False drops the construction wires.

iges = pyvista_cad.read_iges(
    downloads.iges_impeller_path(),
    bsplines=True,
    surfaces=True,
    lines=False,
)
iges

Compute mean curvature on the impeller surface. Mean curvature highlights the convex blade ridges and concave hub fillets: the regions a CFD or stress engineer wants to refine first. (Gaussian curvature on a near-developable blade is ~0 almost everywhere and washes out; mean curvature reads far better.)

surface = iges.extract_surface().compute_normals()
surface['mean_curvature'] = surface.curvature(curv_type='mean')

Render with a diverging colormap centred on zero so flat regions sit mid-scale and ridges / valleys pop. Symmetric, robust clim from the 90th percentile of the absolute curvature keeps a few extreme outliers from flattening the contrast.
