Projects planned to be delivered in next release (next 4 months)
Semantic data: support of visual models
The support of visual models’ appearances (material, textures, decals) is meant for high fidelity rendering and full-color printing of parts and will serve PLM/Visualization as well as Manufacturing as a Service applications. The scope of this project is to improve the support of SolidWorks appearances by adding the surfacic projection for textures as well as decals.Official support for C# language bindings
Support of physical material definition (Poisson coef., Young modulus…) - All CAD Formats
Support of “Publication Names” for Catia V5
Support of “Incremental loading” mode for JT monolithic files
IFC Reader: Reading time improvement
New format support: DGN Reader
DGN MicroStation is a CAD software platform developed by Bentley Systems and used in the architectural and engineering industries.
Official support for C# language bindings
MID-TERM PROJECTS
Planned or on-going projects that might be delivered mid-term (in one or two releases) – After 4 months / before 12 months
...
Standard tessellation improvements
Hoops Exchange ease of use: High-level API layer
New format support: IFC Export
This new export capability will help design applications in manufacturing, plant design, ship building spaces to share their data with BIM applications. For example, an assembly designed in a CAD software will be shared with a BIM application to federate models. The first version of the IFC Writer will support a subset of the IFC classes and will be delivered as a Beta version during the year 2022.
