Recognized as the world's leading, production-proven core solid modeler, Parasolid is an exact boundary-representation geometric modeler supporting solid modeling, generalized cellular modeling and integrated freeform surface/sheet modeling. Developed by EDS in Cambridge, England, Parasolid is used within EDS' products and is licensed to many of the world's other leading CAD/CAM/CAE vendors. Designed for high-end MCAD applications, Parasolid is now used in a wide diversity of leading mid-range systems.
Parasolid's extensive functionality is supplied as a library of over 700 object-oriented functions specifically designed to add 500 programmer-years of solid modeling expertise to an application quickly and cost effectively.
Parasolid enables users to mathematically model objects from simple blocks, cylinders and spheres to the aesthetic contours of a modern car and the functional precision of a helicopter rotor blade. EDS has worked closely with the most demanding users in the aerospace and automotive industries to develop solutions to real and difficult problems. As a result, Parasolid excels in such areas as blending, hollowing and sewing. With such power, remarkably, the Parasolid kernel is easy to add to new and existing CAD/CAM/CAE software products and provides over 500 programmer-years of solid modeling expertise.
A strategic part of EDS' full data pipeline strategy, Parasolid enables manufacturers, suppliers and customers to design and build products anywhere in the world using 100 percent digital data and processes. Parasolid is supported on NT and UNIX operating systems across all major hardware platforms. With such compelling functionality, Parasolid is further complemented by an outstanding track record in customer support. This makes Parasolid the #1 solid modeling kernel inside the world's leading product development systems.作者: 双子星 时间: 2002-7-29 11:34

如果你认得北航开发caxa的，他们有parasolid的函数资料，不过相信他们也是那钱换来的，没那么容易出手。
