It will perform these operations: Automatic Extraction of geometrical as well as topological information. Automatic Loop and shell generation Automatic Geometrical and topological correction needed by Mesher. Automatic identification of inner loops, boundary loop and open loop in open shell.

File Formats from CAD software STEP IGES VDA/FS STL DXF PARASOLID ACIS VRML F3D(Fluidyn CADv6.0 file format) fluidyn -CAE
34
STEP STEP is the ISO standard for exchange of Product Data. STEP files have the.stp or.step extension by default. The definition of topology (shell and solids) is really natural in STEP which is the most modern format for exchange of CAD Data. The application protocols defined in Fluidyn CAD are AP 203 and AP 214, the most widely used in the mechanical industry. File Formats fluidyn -CAE
35
IGES IGES (Initial Graphic Exchange File) is a popular file format used to exchange geometric models between different CAD systems IGES files have extension ".iges or igs“ File Formats fluidyn -CAE
36
VDA/FS VDA-FS (Verband Der Automobilindustrie Flachen Schnittstelle) is a standard file format to exchange surface data. It represents all the data in polynomial form making it relatively easy to write a stable and reliable processor to import 3D surfaces. VDA-FS files have extension ".vda" File Formats fluidyn -CAE
37
STL The STL file format has been designed to be an intermediate data file that allowed stereolthography devices to deal with solids made by triangles. An unstructured meshes made by triangles and are basically an unsorted list of triangles. Fluidyn CAD can read both ASCII and binary STL files File Formats fluidyn -CAE
38
DXF The DXF format is the de-facto standard format for CAD drawings. DXF is an open standard and DWG is the internal format of AutoCAD(tm). File Formats fluidyn -CAE
39
PARASOLID Parasolid X_T is the exchange format for Parasolid(tm) files. File Formats fluidyn -CAE
40

41
ACIS SAT (Save As Text) is the published format of ACIS(tm) by Spatial Technology(tm). File Formats fluidyn -CAE
42
VRML VRML is a file format that is widely used by the Internet community to represent and navigate 3D hyper-linked virtual worlds. VRML is mainly a graphics format that represents simple solid primitives (e.g., sphere, cylinder, etc.), polygons, polylines, and their visual attributes. VRML files have extension ".wrl". File Formats fluidyn -CAE
43
Fluidyn Model data File(*.f3d) Fluidyn CAD’s file format. It includes: Object Information Geometrical Data (curves and surfaces) Topological Data(vertices,loops and shells) Mesh Information(Only After Meshing) Group Information Material and Boundary Properties Data F3D files have extension “.f3d”.
