Parasolid Writer

The Parasolid writer allows developers to export B-rep data from Exchange to Parasolid. The file extensions that you can create when you export the data are:

Assembly

The assembly structure will be exported into the Parasolid file. This will include support for instancing and any coloring and transformations that may be present.

B-rep

All B-rep surface and curve definitions are maintained during export, as long as the source format was Parasolid-based. This includes the blends and intersection curves. However, the B-rep is not exactly the same as the original Parasolid data as we occasionally need to do additional operations like trimming surfaces and recomputing vertices. If you need to export B-rep exactly as it was in the original file, you should use the KeepParsedEntities import option.

If the format was not a Parasolid-based format then all surfaces get mapped to one of the following:

...and curves to one of the following:
