OBJ Import for Pro/ENGINEER is a Wavefront (.obj) file import plug-in for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire®. This plug-in gives Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire the ability to import geometric data from OBJ files.

OBJ Import for Pro/ENGINEER reads polygon mesh data stored in OBJ files and imports it into Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire. A polygon mesh in an OBJ file is comprised of a set of triangular/quad faces. OBJ Import for Pro/ENGINEER 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 OBJ Import for Pro/ENGINEER will create a closed body feature, otherwise an open surface will be created.

OBJ Import for Pro/ENGINEER is very easy to use. Once installed, it must be loaded into the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire environment. Follow the simple instructions in the "ReadMe" document which can be found in the installation folder. Once loaded, it adds new commands to Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire and a submenu called "OBJImport" to the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire menu.

Our licenses are single computer licenses and are locked to each computer they are installed on. Basically, the license key is specific to the computer's Host ID (the MAC address of the computer), and will not work on another computer. The installer picks up the physical MAC address of the network card connected to the computer which is basically “Ethernet adapter Network Connect Adapter”. So unless you change your network card, the key will always work even if you reinstall your operating system. If your internal network is periodically assigning a different Host ID to your computer, then please find a solution for this with your IT department.

The OBJ file format is a geometry definition file format first developed by Wavefront Technologies for its Advanced Visualizer animation package. The file format is open and has been adopted by other 3D graphics application vendors, making it a universally accepted geometry file format. The OBJ file format is a simple data format that represents 3D geometry alone - namely, the position of each vertex, the texture coordinate associated with a vertex, the normal at each vertex, and the faces that make each polygon.
