I-DEAS Open Architecture

I-DEAS Open Architecture allows I-DEAS to exchange data with commercial packages and user applications in electronics, mechanical design, analysis, testing, machining, rapid prototyping and other functions. Wireframe, surface, and solid geometry can be directly imported and exported to and from I-DEAS. This geometry can be used "as-is," or modified and used with all I-DEAS applications. By providing direct access to information in the master model through an application programming interface, I-DEAS serves as the core technology underlying the entire concurrent engineering process.
