Read JT for ACIS SAT / SAB conversion
A JT-to-ACIS SAT / SAB workflow combines the JT reader with the ACIS SAT / SAB writer. Use it when the receiving application needs ACIS SAT / SAB data from an existing JT model.
JT can contain stored visualization meshes, embedded Parasolid BRep, or both. Select the representation needed for the destination before reading the assembly. The Parasolid interface imports precise geometry only when the JT file contains Parasolid BRep data.
Translate precise geometry into ACIS
For a mesh route, select a suitable stored level of detail or tessellate the imported Parasolid BRep with the required deflection. For a precise-geometry route, use the embedded BRep; a mesh-only JT file cannot supply the original CAD surfaces.
Use the ACIS writer for supported BRep geometry and select SAT or SAB for the receiving application. The published component description lists output through ACIS version 7; confirm the delivery and recipient version. A mesh-only input needs another route rather than an implied reconstruction of smooth CAD surfaces.
Validate the ACIS SAT / SAB result
Check part placements and repeated instances as well as names, colors and transparency. A stored coarse level of detail cannot regain surface detail merely by changing file format.
Reopen the file in the recipient and check topology, surface coverage, units and supported attributes. Include translated curved surfaces and multi-body models in the comparison. Reading a file successfully is only the first check when the next task is a modeling operation.
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.
