OCCT conversion workflows

ACIS SAT / SAB to JT

Convert ACIS SAT / SAB to JT. Build JT visualization meshes with supported names, colors and assembly placements.

Build this conversion into your application with OCCT readers, writers and the commercial components identified below.

Read ACIS SAT / SAB for JT conversion

A ACIS SAT / SAB-to-JT workflow combines the ACIS SAT / SAB reader with the JT writer. Use it when the receiving application needs JT data from an existing ACIS SAT / SAB model.

Read SAT or SAB with the commercial ACIS interface and translate supported bodies into OCCT BRep. Select the supported source version and retain the relationship between imported shapes, names and colors needed by the application.

Build a JT visualization model

Use the translated BRep for precise geometry output. For mesh-based delivery, tessellate the surfaces with an appropriate chordal deflection and inspect small faces and narrow features before writing the result.

Use the OCAF-to-JT converter for supported hierarchy, names, colors and mesh representations. Configure tessellation and any required levels of detail around the viewing task. This output route creates a visualization representation; it does not promise Parasolid BRep export inside JT.

Validate the JT result

Include representative curved surfaces and multi-body files in the evaluation. Keep source-version compatibility and the target writer settings with the conversion record so that repeated jobs use the same configuration.

Select a JT version accepted by the recipient and check part positions, geometry coverage and appearance there. Compare both the full assembly and selected parts. If later processing requires precise CAD surfaces, retain the source BRep alongside the visualization derivative.

For a production pipeline, keep a representative source file and its expected geometry and attributes with the conversion settings. Discuss conversion integration with the source and destination applications, or compare the supported format interfaces.

Conversion integration

Build a ACIS SAT / SAB to JT workflow

Share the source and receiving applications, representative files, required attributes and throughput. We can scope SDK evaluation or an integrated conversion service.
