data translators - NURBS-based geometry translator libaries...

We provide NURBS-based geometry translator libraries, with interfaces for the NLib/ GSNLib/ TSNLib/ SMLib family of products. We have IGES, STEP, VDAFS, SAT, OpenNURBS Translators and Parasolid XT currently available.

SMLib IGES - Supports all common and many uncommon geometry types.

SMLib STEP - Built on the same core as the IGES translator, to leverage as much
well-established code as possible.

SMLib VDAFS - Complete implementation built on the IGES translator core.

SMLib SAT (ACIS format) - The format for exchanging information with the ACIS
geometry definitions.

SMLib OpenNURBS (Rhino format) - Supports all common and many uncommon
geometry types.

SMLib Parasolid XT - Supports all common and many uncommon geometry types.

Products designed for the real world:

Portable C++ libraries
Affordable and royalty free
Full source code
Handles points, curves, untrimmed and trimmed surfaces, and B-reps
Read and write into SMLib data structures
Responsive – most bugs fixed in 48 hours
Handles text files in Windows, Unix, and Mac formats
Works around damage to the file
Used to repair many common geometry problems
Provides as much data as possible from failed entities
All built on a common geometry/topology core
Now shipping for a number of commercial products including NLib/GSNLib/TSNLib, and SMLib

High-level interfaces:

Easy to integrate with your software
Function and class-based interfaces available
Parallel across the different translators – once you have one integrated with your code, adding another takes only a few minutes
Provides information associated to geometry entities in the form of attached attributes

Low-level interfaces:

If more control is needed, all the tools used to implement the high-level interfaces are available in the source.
