How to convert Solid Edge (solidedge,.asm,.par) to HOOPS HSF?

PolyTrans|CAD+DCC performs mathematically precise CAD, DCC/Animation, GIS and BIM 3D file conversions into all key downstream 3D packages and file formats. Okino software is used and trusted throughout the world by many tens of thousands of 3D professionals in mission & production critical environments, backed by respectable personal support directly from our core development team.

Solid Edge

Solid Edge is a 3D CAD, parametric feature and synchronous technology solid modeling software developed by Siemens. Some of its distant competitors would be SolidWorks, ProE/Creo, UG NX and Autodesk Inventor.

Okino knows of the Solid Edge software well as it had created one of the very first and still main conversion systems for the software.

Conversion from Solid Edge into Okino software is handled by these 3 ideal methods:

• Via native import of the .par or .asm files,
• Via STEP AP214 or IGES 'BREP solids' files.
• Via JT files exported from Solid Edge.

HOOPS HSF

The HOOPS Stream File (HSF) file format allows highly compressed files containing 3D data and bitmap images to be streamed over Internet connections of any bandwidth. Okino knows of the HSF file format very well as we have been involved with its evolution since the year 2000.

The legacy HSF file format was created by Ithaca Software in the mid 1980's as an efficient, light weight, compressed 3D visualization format. Thereafter it was adapted and adopted by Tech Soft 3D in the early 2000s for use in other rebranded file formats such as EASM (for SolidWorks), ICS (for IronCAD) and DWF-3D (for Autodesk).
