Read ACIS SAT / SAB for VRML output
A ACIS SAT / SAB-to-VRML workflow connects the ACIS SAT / SAB reader to the VRML writer. Select the model items and output representation needed by the receiving application.
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.
Prepare a VRML visualization derivative
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.
Write the selected mesh representation through the OCCT VRML interface for a consumer that expects WRL or VRML. Map the geometry, placements and supported appearance information required by that viewer. Keep precise CAD topology and unsupported attributes in the engineering source.
Check the VRML 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.
Open the output in the receiving VRML application and check scale, orientation and part positions. Verify the actual appearance mapping and any resource references. Compare the tessellation against the viewing task rather than judging fidelity from successful file loading alone.
Discuss this conversion with the producing and receiving applications, representative files and required geometry and attributes. Compare the reader/writer catalog when a different representation is needed.
