Parasolid parts are normally saved in XT format, which usually has the file extension .X_T. [2] The format is documented and open. [3] There is also a binary version of the format, usually with an .X_B extension, which is somewhat more compact. Both .X_T and .X_B are used for parts files.
Parasolid is developed and licensed by Siemens. Romulus was a predecessor to Parasolid. ShapeManager [5] is developed by Autodesk and was forked from ACIS in 2001. Granite [6] is developed by Parametric Technology Corporation. C3D Modeler is developed by C3D Labs, part of the ASCON Group. [7] [8]
Parasolid can represent wireframe, surface, solid, cellular and general non-manifold models. It stores topological and geometric information defining the shape of models in transmitting files. These files have a published format so that applications can have access to Parasolid models without necessarily using the Parasolid kernel. [11]
Solid Edge is a 3D computer-aided design (CAD), parametric feature and synchronous technology solid modeling software. It runs on Microsoft Windows and provides solid modeling, assembly modelling and 2D orthographic view functions for mechanical designers.
FreeCAD's own main file format is FreeCAD Standard file format (.FCStd). [9] It is a standard zip file that holds files in a certain structure. [ 9 ] The Document. xml file has all geometric and parametric objects definitions. [ 9 ]
The early version of ABViewer allowed viewing and merging CAD files, storing BMP and EMF images in the clipboard, and printing a group of files. Initially, the program supported 20 languages and was available in two versions: Standard and Professional. [5] In 2007, new features were added to the viewer: an editor and a converter.
T-FLEX CAD (T-FLEX) – is a parametric computer-aided design (CAD) software application for 2D design, drafting, and 3D solid modeling based on commercial Parasolid geometric kernel. [1] It's primarily developed and distributed by Russian software company Top Systems. Supported platforms are limited to Microsoft Windows.
Communicator for BricsCAD is an add-on that imports and exports 3D CAD data (geometry & Product Manufacturing Information [PMI]) for data exchange with major Mechanical CAD programs (e.g. CATIA, PTC Creo, Solid Edge, NX/UG, SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor) and several industry-standard neutral file formats.
