As I understand it, if you have Design Check, it transfers the model straight to FemPro, but if you have the full featured Algor package it does not. (The tweo programs are not awae of each other) You have to go via the step file route (and I have found the AP203 step format the best for Alibre->Algor.
I have just installed Design Check for the first time (having had full featured Algor, there was no need and it would interfer with the other installation)
I tried Design Check on (Feature Limited) setting, and must say I was dissapointed. Yes it has the Fempro Interface of the full featured package, but you can hardly do anything with it.
It has 1 element type, 1 restraint method, 1 force method, no acceletation (gravity) loading. You cannot create a load spider as you have no trusses and beams. No thermal, no pressure loading (other than surface force), no nodal force, or nodal contraints. I can barely think of an application where I can use it.
It can also only import single parts (not assemblies). This restriction I can understand, but the others render it almost useless.
I must actually uninstall it, and try the (time limited version) to see if that has more of the full featured features.
I can understand limitations as full Algor costs between $5 and $13g's, but this Design Check seems little more than a marketing tool, dangling of a carrot.
