Solid works
Creating a Parasolid File After you complete your 3D model in Solidworks, Parasolid files are created as an export option. To ensure compatibility with Parasolid formats, SolidWorks uses Parasolid as its native geometric modeling kernel.
The steps:
Open your part or assembly in SolidWorks.
Go to File → Save As .
Select the "Save As" drop-down menu and choose Parasolid (*.x_t) or Parasolid Binary (*.x_b) .
Select where you want to save your file and click Save .
Siemens NX
Creating a Parasolid File Creating X_T and X_B files is a breeze, since Siemens NX has a built-in modeling engine called Parasolid.
The steps:
Open your part or assembly in Siemens NX.
Navigate to File → Export
Choose Parasolid .
Indicate whether you want to export the file as X_T or X_B file .
Choose the location you want to save your file, then click OK.
Autodesk Inventor
Creating a Parasolid File : Autodesk Inventor exchange data does not have built-in support for Parasolid. Users can export their files to Parasolid format to ensure compatibility with other CAD programs.
The steps:
Select File → Export
Choose CAD Format .
In the "Save As" drop-down menu, select Parasolid (*.x_t, *.x_b) .
Select your preferred format (X_T or X_B) and click Save .
Comparison with other file formats
Parasolid has excellent data translation capabilities. It can read and write file formats such as STEP, IGES , and STL among other different formats.
However, it is difficult to understand how Parasolid files (X_T and X_B) differ from other well-known CAD file formats, such as IGES, STEP, and STL. In this case, it is absolutely necessary to discuss them in order to better understand and make good comparisons. Depending on the application and industry requirements, each format has advantages and disadvantages that affect its operation.
Comparison Chart: Parasolid vs. IGES
Parasolid (X_T/X_B) IGES
Text (X_T) and binary (X_B) Text
File extension .x_t, .x_b File extension .iges, .igs
Its objective is to produce 3D solid and surface models as well as parametric models. Intended for data exchange for 2D/3D CAD models
