U3D to SAT
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to U3D and SAT interoperability and exchange that could help you with the U3D to SAT conversion.
U3D File
U3D (Universal 3D) is an open source compressed file format initiated by the 3D Industry Forum to store three dimensional triangular meshes with the additional properties e.g. color, transparency or texture coordinates for the general 3D graphics industry. The U3D file format is mostly used in combination with the 3D PDF technology which allows you to generate PDF documents containing interactive 3D data from the U3D files. Autoconverter and Automesher Application, our U3D file converters can read and write to and from U3D file format thanks to the publicly available open source IFX converter library provided by the Intel company. To simplify generation of 3D PDF documents our converters create a common TEX script which can be easily used to generate a PDF document with the standard and free LaTeX software.
SAT ACIS File
SAT (Standard ACIS Text) is an ASCII file format to store 3D model geometry that precisely describes the real objects, developed and maintained up till now by the Spatial company. The SAT file format is supported by the majority of 3D modeling and CAD software and can be used to successfully exchange 3D data between different systems, e.g. AutoCAD & Solidworks. Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application software allow you to convert mesh based geometry to a true solid shape saved in the SAT file.
