Modeling core

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As modeling kernel ( English geometric modeling kernel ) is defined as the core for the geometric description , and presentation, the in 3D CAD is used systems.

General

There are three common commercial modeling cores that are licensed to different CAD manufacturers and are therefore used in different CAD programs:

  1. Parasolid , developed by Siemens PLM Software (formerly UGS) and uses a.o. a. from NX , Solid Edge and SolidWorks . File name extension * .x_t or * .x_b
  2. ACIS, manufactured by Spatial Corp, is part of the Dassault Group . Filename extension * .sat
  3. C3D, manufactured by C3D Labs, is part of the ASCON Group . Filename extension * .c3d

In addition, there are other modeling cores that are used exclusively in products from their manufacturers:

  1. Granite One, is developed by PTC and used exclusively in Pro / Engineer.
  2. Catia Geometric Engine - the core of CATIA
  3. Shape Manager - ACIS-derived geometry core from Autodesk . Is used in the products AutoCAD and Inventor .
  4. Kernel from DAKO , based on the exchange standards DIN 66304, ISO 13584 and the table of characteristics of DIN 4000.
  5. ESM (European Solid Modeller) - 3D CAD core of ISD, comes into the CAD software HiCAD used

There is also the freely available modeling kernel Open CASCADE .
