"Broad acceptance of Parasolid throughout the CAD market as well as its adoption by the number one, two and three suppliers of Digital Prototyping and Simulation software have led Parasolid to become a de facto standard for open, commercially available geometric modeling kernels. We believe that Parasolid's robust modeling functionality along with its large and prestigious installed base in both product design and manufacturing have helped fuel its expansion in the CAE market."

Parasolid Communicator gives developers SDK access to the Parasolid kernel to read, write and interrogate files in the Parasolid XT format – enabling application to exchange geometric data with the wide range of Parasolid-enabled applications.
Functionality includes:
- Reading and writing of Parasolid XT files
- Topology and geometry inquiries using the PK_*_ask functions
- Graphical data output for wire-frame, silhouettes, hidden line
- Facetted and STL output
- Geometric intersections
- Sectioning
- Mass Properties
- Minimum distance calculation
- Clash detection
- Sewing faces
- Symmetric multi-processing support
