Import and Export Data

This module allows users to export/import NURBS shapes in common CAD exchange formats. The functions starting with import_ are used for generating B-spline and NURBS objects from the input files. The functions starting with export_ are used for saving B-spline and NURBS objects as files.

The following functions import/export control points or export evaluated points:

• :py:func:`.exchange.import_txt()`
• :py:func:`.exchange.export_txt()`
• :py:func:`.exchange.import_csv()`
• :py:func:`.exchange.export_csv()`

The following functions work with single or multiple surfaces:

• :py:func:`.exchange.import_obj()`
• :py:func:`.exchange.export_obj()`
• :py:func:`.exchange.export_stl()`
• :py:func:`.exchange.export_off()`
• :py:func:`.exchange.import_smesh()`
• :py:func:`.exchange.export_smesh()`

The following functions work with single or multiple volumes:

• :py:func:`.exchange.import_vmesh()`
• :py:func:`.exchange.export_vmesh()`

The following functions can be used to import/export rational or non-rational spline geometries:

• :py:func:`.exchange.import_yaml()`
• :py:func:`.exchange.export_yaml()`
• :py:func:`.exchange.import_cfg()`
• :py:func:`.exchange.export_cfg()`
• :py:func:`.exchange.import_json()`
• :py:func:`.exchange.export_json()`

The following functions work with single or multiple curves and surfaces:

• :py:func:`.exchange.import_3dm()`
• :py:func:`.exchange.export_3dm()`
