OBJ Import for Solid Edge - Wavefront OBJ file import add-in for Solid Edge
OBJ Import for Solid Edge
is a Wavefront (.obj) file import add-in for Solid Edge®. This plug-in
gives Solid Edge the ability to import geometric data from OBJ files.
OBJ
Import for Solid Edge reads polygon mesh data stored in OBJ files
and imports it into Solid Edge. A polygon mesh in an OBJ file is
comprised of a set of triangular and/or quad faces. OBJ 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 OBJ Import for Solid
Edge will create a closed body feature, otherwise an open surface
will be created.
OBJ
Import for Solid Edge is very easy to use. Once installed, it
automatically loads itself into Solid Edge and adds a new submenu called
"OBJ Import for Solid Edge" to the Solid Edge Applications menu.
OBJ
Import for Solid Edge comes with detailed documentation as well as a
tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time.

need any additional information please contact SYCODE.
The OBJ
File Format
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.
