ACIS Importer

The ACIS importer, rwsat uses 3D ACIS Modeler to convert .sat files to geomdl JSON format.

rwsat comes with the following list of programs:

  • sat2json converts ACIS .sat files to geomdl JSON format
  • satgen generates sample geometries

Use Cases

  • Import geometry data from .sat files and use it with exchange.import_json()
  • Convert ACIS file format to OBJ, STL, OFF and other formats supported by geomdl

Installation

Please refer to the rwsat repository for installation options. Due to ACIS licensing, no binary files are distributed within the repository.

from geomdl import exchange

from geomdl.visualization import VisMPL as vis

# Import converted data
data = exchange.import_json("converted_acis.json")

# Add the imported data to a surface container
surf_cont = multi.SurfaceContainer(data)
surf_cont.sample_size = 30

# Visualize
surf_cont.vis = vis.VisSurface(ctrlpts=False, trims=False)
surf_cont.render()
