ST-Parasolid Library
Parasolid is the solid modeling kernel used in Unigraphics, SolidWorks
and other CAD systems. We have been working on a STEP translator
library for Parasolid similar to the ST-ACIS library (see last weeks
letter) for about six months. The translator was tested in the latest
round of STEPnet and is nearly ready for customer testing. This week
we have completed the first version of the documentation and put it on
our web site.

Like ST-ACIS, ST-Parasolid will be available as a stand-alone translator
and as a customizable library of function calls.

Programming New Applications With ST-Developer
Learn how our most popular programming tool, ST-Developer, can help
reduce development time of your in-house STEP applications by 75%.
Taught by a STEP Tools developer with over eight years experience,
Dr. Dave Loffredo will show you how to use and implement the wide
variety of CASE tools during this intensive hands-on class.
Opportunities will be available to discuss all aspects of how to
program with the ISO 10303 STEP standard and to gain experience with
ST-Developer. Bring your laptop and we will install a free 30 day
evaluation of ST-Developer!
