Feature-Based Proprietary CAD Data Translation is a technology demonstration of the feature-by-feature translation of a 3D model between the SOLIDWORKS® integrated design environment and the Onshape® product development platform.
Using the Onshape REST API and the SOLIDWORKS API that contain a feature-by-feature description of the model, the technology demonstration provides the possibility to automatically reconstruct a SOLIDWORKS model in the Onshape environment and an Onshape model in the SOLIDWORKS environment.
Feature-Based Proprietary CAD Data Translation has the following functions:
- Processing of assemblies to export/import each assembly part to the destination system
- Gathering transformation matrices of parts in the source system
- Creating a new assembly document in the source system
- Placing parts to the assembly and applying transformation matrices
