OCCT conversion workflows

Parasolid to FBX

Convert Parasolid to FBX through a mesh workflow. Prepare geometry, map supported data and validate the result in the receiving application.

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

Prepare Parasolid geometry for FBX

The Parasolid-to-FBX route uses the Parasolid reader, mesh preparation and the FBX writer. Choose the geometry and representation required by the destination application.

Read Parasolid X_T or X_B files through the commercial Parasolid interface into OCCT BRep shapes. Use the XDE import layer when supported names and colors must remain associated with the model items.

Prepare mesh geometry for FBX delivery

Keep the imported BRep for precise CAD output. For polygonal output, generate a surface mesh with tolerances selected for the receiving application. Check any healing settings against the geometry used in production.

Write the selected mesh geometry with the commercial FBX interface. Prepare the supported scene and placement mapping required by the receiving application. Check appearance and other attributes individually rather than assuming all source properties have an FBX writer mapping.

Validate the converted model

This route starts from a Parasolid export, not an arbitrary native file from a Parasolid-based application. Parasolid writing is not provided by the documented import component.

Reopen the FBX in the destination and compare scale, orientation, geometry coverage and placements. Verify the actual version and property mapping needed by that application. Retain the engineering source for information that the scene derivative cannot carry.

For repeated jobs, retain the source, preparation settings and representative output checks. Discuss this conversion with the input files, destination application and required geometry and attributes.

Conversion integration

Build a Parasolid to FBX workflow

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