OCCT conversion workflows

RVM to glTF / GLB

Convert RVM to glTF / GLB 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 RVM geometry for glTF / GLB

The RVM-to-glTF / GLB route uses the RVM reader, mesh preparation and the glTF / GLB writer. Choose the geometry and representation required by the destination application.

Read the AVEVA PDMS Review Model with the RVM interface. Select the plant areas, equipment or geometry needed by the destination rather than exporting unrelated portions of a large review model.

Prepare a scene for glTF or GLB delivery

Prepare polygonal output from the imported geometry, retaining suitable meshes or tessellating supported surfaces. Check model placements and coordinate scale before merging parts or constructing a destination scene.

Map supported model items into glTF scene nodes and configure the mesh, placements and appearance for browser or application delivery. Decide whether the receiving workflow expects a GLB package or glTF with companion resources. Keep names useful for selection and inspection.

Validate the converted model

Include small fittings and curved equipment as well as large structures in the comparison. Keep plant identifiers and engineering properties separately when the target cannot represent them.

Reopen the asset in the target viewer and compare orientation, bounds, assembly placement and visible surface quality. Check material mapping and resource paths. Measure loading cost together with geometric detail so that reducing mesh size does not silently remove required features.

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 RVM to glTF / GLB workflow

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