ABSTRACT
Parametric feature-based CAD data exchange is one of the most important open problems in solid modeling. The problem is significant and challenging both scientifically and commercially. In this paper we present a very general outline of the Universal Product Representation (UPR) architecture, which provides universal support for all data levels employed by today's CAD systems. The architecture has been implemented with successful results.

CAD data exchange based on the recovery of feature modelling procedure
Feature-based data exchange FBDE among CAD systems is one of the most important problems in collaborative product development. In this article, we present a procedure recovery-based solution for FBDE. The main difference between our solution and ...
