TS3D provides licensing and support service for the Parasolid Kernel Modeler from UGS – either as an integrated complement to the HOOPS 3D Application Framework or as an independent component. Leveraging Parasolid, your application can add advanced solid/surface modeling capabilities or the ability to read/write the popular XT file format.

Recognized as the world's leading, production-proven core solid modeler, Parasolid is an exact boundary-representation geometric modeler supporting solid modeling, generalized cellular modeling and integrated freeform surface/sheet modeling. Developed by UGS Solutions in Cambridge, England, Parasolid is used within UGS's products and is licensed to many of the world's other leading CAD/CAM/CAE vendors. Designed for high-end MCAD applications, Parasolid is now used in a wide diversity of leading mid-range systems.

Parasolid has three distinct levels of licensing, at varying price points, designed to serve the specific functionality requirements of your application. Special pricing levels are also available for educational usage.

The licensing levels are:

  • Parasolid Editor. Extends the abilities of Communicator – allowing developers to perform basic data processing and editing of XT data. This level is useful for applications such as CAM and CAE pre-processing applications which must perform simple modeling operations for geometry clean-up/simplification.
  • Parasolid Designer. The full-blown solid/surface modeling kernel which includes all of the capabilities of Communicator and Editor as well as full access to the rich Parasolid API for performing a wide range of robust solid and surface modeling.

Add-on Modules are also available for Parasolid, including:

  • Parasolid Bodyshop. For advanced healing, geometry repair and model clean-up which also deploys Parasolid’s Tolerant Modeling™ technology to enhance Interoperability.
  • Parasolid Translators. For the exchange of data in a number of formats, including IGES, STEP, VDA-FS, CATIA, Pro/Engineer and ACIS.
