3D Interoperability

Hi,

Can anyone help on converting ACIS models to VRML/ X3D ??

Really stuck on this part.

Hello Pranveer,

I do not know much about these formats but  as I understand VRML and X3D use polygon representations.. so I think you can facet the ACIS data and then parse it to create the traingles needed for the VRML or X3D data.

I will check to see if someone in our development team knows more about this...

Hey Yogesh,

Thanks a lot for replying.

All this while, I figured out a way. I am going to generate meshes (triangular) with the help of several mesh generator programs available and then utilise the meshes for my purpose. But, I would like to have any more inputs on this, if you have any.

Would love to hear your take on this approach.

Hi Pranveer,

CAD Exchanger (http://www.cadexchanger.com) should deliver such translation possibilities in mid-term. It can currently import several 3D formats (IGES, STEP, BRep) and can export to several formats including VRML. Export to X3D has been already developed and should be released in next product update. ACIS import is in Alpha stage and is still under development. Most entities are already supported with some exceptions.

I can offer manual translation of ACIS-SAT files into VRML/X3D until CAD Exchanger is released with these formats supported. Please let me know if this can be of interest for you.

Thank you,

Roman

Hey Thanks a bunch to you all.

I finished converting CAD files in ACIS to X3D.
