What is Parasolid kernel?

Parasolid is a geometric modeling kernel originally developed by Shape Data Limited, now owned and developed by Siemens Digital Industries Software, which can be licensed by other companies for use in their 3D computer graphics software products.

What is the kernel of NX?

Parasolid
NX uses Parasolid for its Geometric modeling kernel and D-Cubed as Associative engine for sketcher and assembly constraints as well as using JT (visualization format) for lightweight data and Multi-CAD.

What CAD kernel is SolidWorks?

The traditional desktop SolidWorks is built on the Parasolid kernel, while the 3DEXPERIENCE platform uses the CGM kernel. This reliance on two kernels leads many users to worry that building parts in SolidWorks will eventually mean a wholesale conversion from Parasolid to CGM.

What kernel does Onshape use?

Parasolid kernel
Onshape uses the same Parasolid kernel as Solidworks, one reason being that Onshape was designed pre-PTC to take customers from Solidworks.

What kernel is Fusion 360?

ShapeManager

What kernel does FreeCAD use?

FreeCAD uses open-source libraries from the field of computing science; among them are Open CASCADE Technology (a CAD kernel), Coin3D (an incarnation of Open Inventor), the Qt GUI framework, and Python, a popular scripting language. FreeCAD itself can also be used as a library by other programs.

Which is geometric modeling kernel does Autodesk Inventor use?

* AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor are based on the ShapeManager kernel, which forked from ACIS version 7 in 2001. If you need to save an ACIS file that is compatible with Autodesk products, setting ACIS version to 7 should bring good results. ** IronCAD gives users the option of both the ACIS and Parasolid kernels.

Are there any opensource modeling kernels for Linux?

Open CASCADE is a opensource modeling kernel, for Windows and Linux only. sgCore is a opensource modeling kernel, with precompiled libraries only, for Windows only. Open Inventor is both a proprietary and free and opensource modeling kernel. Coin3D is a opensource modeling kernel library of the Open Inventor API.

Which is the Russian Geometric modeling feature kernel?
