VDA-FS
With VDA-FS is called a data format for exchanging geometry information between different CAD systems.
VDA-FS is short for V erband d it A utomobilindustrie - F lächen s NTERFACE.
With this interface only 3D information can be transmitted and no drawing information, as is possible with IGES or STEP .
VDA-FS was and is mainly used to transfer 3D data between CAD systems such as B. to convert CATIA , Unigraphics and Tebis . Some measuring machines record contours in this format and make the data available to CAD systems. B. a TARGET-ACTUAL comparison is possible.
VDA-FS version 2.0 comprises the following elements:
- Geometric elements
- Point
- Point sequence
- Point vector sequence
- circle
- Curve
- surface
- Curve on a surface
- delimiting area
- Polysurface
- Not geometric elements
- Start and end identifier
- comment
- group
- Transformation matrix
- Transformation list
