The use of tesselated data for different applications is rapidly increasing.
So, there are different file formats for different applications.
STL for RP
OpenInventor for Visualiziation
VRML for Internet
etc.
One disadvantage is that the tesselation is typically done separat for every
application.
Is there any experience in storing tesselated data in EDM/PDM systems
parallel to CAD data?
Are there any tools to convert the data between the formats. I would prefer
macros, without download of the data into a visualization system like CAD.
Regards
Martin
