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 ]
STEP AP 242 XML - An ISO Standard, with allows to represent assembly, meta, kinematic data etc. and to link to the model data as external references (leaves on a STEP-tree). In global automotive industry, for realizing cross-company data exchange scenarios the application of STEP AP 242 XML and JT is recommended.
In 2007, new features were added to the viewer: an editor and a converter. The application got a full set of editing tools for design and project work. As a converter, ABViewer made it possible to convert selected parts of the image. ABViewer 6 was available in three versions (Standard, Professional and Enterprise). [6]
TransMagic is a commercial computer program that converts computer-aided design (CAD) files from one native file format to another. During the translation process, TransMagic performs “geometry mapping”, mapping from one CAD kernel to another.
Parasolid also includes tools for direct model editing, including tapering, offsetting, geometry replacement and removing feature details with automated regeneration of surrounding data. Parasolid also provides wide-ranging graphical and rendering support, including hidden-line, wireframe and drafting, tessellation, and model data inquiries.
The basis for STEP was the Product Data Exchange Specification (PDES), which was initiated during the mid-1980's and was submitted to ISO in 1988. [4] [5] The Product Data Exchange Specification (PDES) was a data definition effort intended to improve interoperability between manufacturing companies, and thereby improve productivity.
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]
It supports STEP and DFX for import and export. By default, SolveSpace utilizes its own CAD file format called .slvs for model storage. It is possible to export models as a whole or in part to various formats such as PDF , SVG , or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS).
