We have created unprecedented interoperability between our own products, and we have actively embraced and participated in many committees for CAD data exchange, helping to extend and support STEP, IGES, and other protocols. Still, we decided to take it one step further. With our competency in solid modeling and data management, strong industry partners, and proven development track record, we intend to redefine the MCAD industry’s expectations of CAD interoperability. GRANITE’s associativity and native-file interoperability exemplify this strategy. Of course, GRANITE also includes IGES, STEP, ACIS, Parasolid and VDA translators, facilitating applications standards compatibility.
