HarmonyWare provides NURBS-based geometry translator tools handling the IGES, VDAFS, STEP, SAT (Acis (TM)), Parasolid XT, and openNURBS (Rhino (TM)) file formats. We have libraries to provide interfaces for these formats to the Nlib/ TSLib/ POPLib/ SOLIDS++/ SMLib family of products. We also provide a full-featured library which includes enough of Nlib and POPLib to make everything work for those who do not use those libraries, and binary-only tools for translating these file formats to the STL triangle format. We also have interfaces from DATAKIT's CATIA v4, CATIA v5, UG, and (in testing) ProE file readers to the products above.

Our software provides the translation tools for PowerTranslators, PowerSolids, and PowerSolids for Rhino.

This web page is in the middle of a major revamp. Some information is not yet available. Some links are broken. We will hopefully have it all together properly soon.

A load of bug fixes, plus brings the DATAKIT translators up to DATAKIT's V51 release. See the changelog for details.
• October 12th, 2007: IGES 1.6.4, VDAFS 1.4.8, STEP 1.3.4, SAT 1.1.9, openNURBS 1.1.9, DATAKIT/CATIA 1.0.0, DATAKIT/CATIA5 1.0.0, DATAKIT/UG 1.0.0, Parasolid 0.6.1, SolidWorks 0.4.7, and DATAKIT/ProE 0.5.0 translators on-line. This marks the release of version 1.0.0 of CATIA V4, CATIA V5, and UG support, as well as the 0.5 "beta" release of Pro/E; all DATAKIT-based translators are now compatiable with DATAKIT's V48 release. In addition there are bug fixes for every other translator. See the changelog for details.
• June 18th, 2007: IGES 1.6.3, VDAFS 1.4.7, STEP 1.3.3, SAT 1.1.8, openNURBS 1.1.8, DATAKIT/CATIA 0.9.1, DATAKIT/CATIA5 0.9.1, DATAKIT/UG 0.9.1, Parasolid 0.6.0, SolidWorks 0.4.6, and DATAKIT/ProE 0.4.0 translators on-line. This is a more final pre-1.0 test release of the DATAKIT translators, with updated code making them compatiable with DATAKIT's V46 release. The SolidWorks translator remains in alpha testing. A DATAKIT/ProE translator alpha test is added. See the changelog for details.

• June, 2008: Next maintenance release for all translators; hoped-for improvements include better intersection curve and blend surface support and better STEP exports.
• August, 2008: Expected release of 1.9.0 translators, with completely rewritten assembly support.
