Exporting track data to CATIA V5

Hello. Does anybody know if there is a to export NL or RCT track data (points, splines...) to use in a real modeling software such as CATIA V5? CATIA is a CAD software that gives the ability to do detail design for every part on the roller coaster. We can also perform stress analysis. But without NoLimits it is very time consuming to get a quality track in a small amount of time. Catia can read a number of different file types including .iges, step, .stp, .3dxml, .cgm, and more. Is there anyway to convert a NL track file to any of these types?

I've decided to transfer node points by hand into Catia. Read more here. I've started recreating a Vekoma Flying Dutchman style roller coaster (X-FLight/Nighthawk/Batwing/Firehawk). Using the node coordinates from the No Limits track which was actually supplied by Vekoma, I have created points and splined them together. I have 65 points already and I am only through the first couple of elements!
