Foundation capabilities

Parasolid Designer is built on critical foundation capabilities that enable successful integration in a wide variety of software applications. Enabled across all relevant functionality, Parasolid’s foundation capabilities include:

Tolerant modeling for intrinsically reliable modeling with imported data
Attributes and callbacks for application-specific behavior
Session and partitioned rollback for flexible history and undo/redo
Data management and tracking for managing models and associated data
Symmetric multi-processing support for enhanced performance
Model storage in forwards and backwards compatible native XT format
.NET Binding to integrate Parasolid into .NET applications written in C#
Broad platform coverage including Windows, Linux, Unix and Mac
