Question about parasolid
I haved a API that can read a number of CAD files, including
Parasolid. This API is written by python. Up to now, I relied on tools such as SolidWorks to create the CAD files. This works very well for complex models, since tools such as SolidWorks are relatively simple to use GUI-based programs. However, for certain very simple geometries, it would nice to have a simple driven tool to pragmatically create simple CADs; specially if I want to automatically create many models. To that end, I see the following choices: 1. Find an open source API for creating Parasolid model. 2. Find a simple (preferably open source) tool (executable) that would read a set of simple instructions and create a Parasolid model. May I have your help on above items if not do you have a sample code to help me in creating my own tool to directly write Parasolid files? Thanks in advance, Sahar |
The first thing that comes to mind when you mention an open source API for geometry is OpenCASCADE (http://www.opencascade.org/).
I don't know whether it can write a Parasolid file. |
