3DM Export for Solid Edge is a Rhinoceros (.3dm) file export add-in for Solid Edge?®. This add-in gives Solid Edge the ability to export 3D solid and surface data from a Solid Edge part or assembly document to 3d polygon meshes in a 3DM file.
3DM Export for Solid Edge tessellates solid bodies in a Solid Edge document into a set of triangular meshes. These meshes are then exported to a 3DM file as mesh objects. The 3DM file can then be imported into a variety of CAD applications.
3DM Export for Solid Edge is very easy to use. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into Solid Edge and adds a new submenu called "3DM Export for Solid Edge" to the Solid Edge Applications menu.
The '3DM Export for Solid Edge' menu consists of the following commands:
# Export - Export meshes to a 3DM file
# Help - Display the 3DM Export for Solid Edge help file
# Register - Register your copy of 3DM Export for Solid Edge
# About - Display the 3DM Export for Solid Edge About box
3DM Export for Solid Edge comes with detailed documentation for each command as well as a tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time.
The 3DM File Format
The 3DM (3D Model) file format is the native file format of Rhinoceros, the NURBS modeling software from Robert McNeel & Associates. The OpenNURBS Initiative was founded by Robert McNeel & Associates in January 2000, with the sole purpose of providing CAD, CAM, CAE and computer graphics software users reliable methods for transferring 3D geometry between applications via the 3DM file format. TerrainCAD, our terrain generation, editing and modeling software, also uses the 3DM file format as its native file format.
