What is Parasolid?

Parasolid is simply the best 3D modeling kernel technology available today.  A Siemens PLM software product, Parasolid has unsurpassed 3D modeling capabilities—it can handle larger and more complex models, support higher levels of modeling automation, manage data accurately and consistently, and provide the interoperability needed to facilitate the seamless exchange of 3D data.

For Nemetschek North America, the embedded Parasolid kernel provides Vectorworks users with high performance, high-precision digital representation technology acrossthe multiple stages of the design lifecycle.

Used as the modeling foundation for hundreds of computer-aided design, manufacturing, and engineering analysis (CAD/CAM/CAE) applications, Parasolid is the modeling kernel of choice for over two million users around the world.

Why Parasolid and Vectorworks?

Already an AEC industry leader in 3D modeling with its unique ability to support free-form modeling, Nemetschek North America licensed and incorporated the Parasolid kernel to transform its Vectorworks application with robust 3D modeling capabilities.  Together, the Vectorworks and Parasolid combination provides the AEC, Landscape, and Entertainment industries with the most scalable, reliable, and feature-rich 3D design application available today. Vectorworks users are free to design with no limits. With Parasolid at Vectorworks’ core, you can model virtually any complex 3D geometry, allowing easyexploration of “what if” scenarios without modeling limits.  If you can imagine it, Vectorworks withParasolid can model it.
