3DM Import for Solid Edge - Rhino 3DM file import add-in for Solid Edge
3DM Import for Solid Edge
is a Rhinoceros (.3dm) file import add-in for Solid Edge®. This plug-in
gives Solid Edge the ability to import geometric data from 3DM files.
3DM
Import for Solid Edge reads polygon mesh data stored in 3DM files
and imports it into Solid Edge. A polygon mesh in a 3DM file is
comprised of a set of triangular and/or quad faces. 3DM Import for
Solid Edge creates trimmed planar surfaces for each triangle/quad
and knits them together to create a body. If the polygon mesh is closed
(i.e. it does not contain boundary edges) then 3DM Import for Solid
Edge will create a closed body feature, otherwise an open surface
will be created.
3DM Import for Solid Edge is very easy to use. It adds new commands
to Solid Edge. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into Solid
Edge and adds a new submenu called "3DM Import for Solid Edge"
to
the Solid Edge Applications menu
containing
these newly added commands.
3DM
Import for Solid Edge comes with detailed documentation as well as a
tutorial to get you started in
the shortest possible time.

The 3DM
File Format
The 3DM
(3D Model) file format is the native file format of Rhinoceros, the
NURBS modeling software from Robert McNeel & Associates. The OpenNURBS
Initiative was founded by Robert McNeel & Associates in January 2000,
with the sole purpose of providing CAD, CAM, CAE and computer graphics
software users reliable methods for transferring 3D geometry between
applications via the 3DM file format.
TerrainCAD, our terrain
generation, editing and modeling software, also uses the 3DM file format
as its native file format. .
