If any of these tutorials whets your appetite for learning more about how to use T-Splines for jewellery CAD design and manufacturing, I can provide you with two options: SRS1 Cubic Spline for ExcelSRS1 Cubic Spline for Excel adds cubic spline and linear interpolation. Welcome to You must be here after some good references.

You might also want to get in touch with Mike Scott at BYU, if you aren’t already.

Other products are going to be released that integrate it as well, but I don’t think the details are public yet. It’s currently available as a native surface type in Fusion 360. That operation is not trivial, unfortunately.Īs for what CAD software natively supports T-splines, Autodesk owns the T-splines library, and is including it in various of their products. Neither of the formats contain enough information about T-splines to directly use for IGA, you’d need something to extract Beziers from the T-spline control mesh. The Rhino plugin can export either of these. tss contains other objects, like curves and simple nurbs surfaces. In terms of file format, there are two file formats in use by T-splines. That’s also why we do approximation when we use a T-spline as a subdivision surface. Subdivision surfaces near a star point are actually an infinite series of smaller and smaller Bezier patches, which is not representable by the. iga is a strongly opinionated format, in that it assumes that everything can be expressed as a finite number of Bezier surface elements, where the Bezier surface control points are linear combinations of other control points.

Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces can also be represented by T-splines, although there is some approximation near star points / singularities. iga format can also be used to represent NURBS surfaces I believe.

iga format can be used to create display meshes as well as for isogeometric analysis. I’m not sure if there are any file formats, that support all these geometric representations? This approach is somehow not very convenient. The only approach that seems to be possible is to use the IGA format of rhino to export the bezier extraction of the tspline grid and reconstruct the geometric information needed to make it usefull for our software. We are currently trying to generalize our geomtric representation to allow for Nurbs, Tsplines and Subdivision surfaces and that is where the problems start… If i’m correct, there is no standard Tspline format and Tsplines are not natively supported by any CAD Software, but only via pluigins? The procedure is somehow similar to the IGAFEM and IGABEM, but we need the geomtric information to be pushed to our drawing OpenGl/Tesselation interface at interactive framerates.

Honestly I’m not sure how open to licensing it is, but if you do license it I have code which will read T-splines out of 3dms.Īctually we want to use the tsplines not for creating geometries or in a CAD context - but for simulations (elastodynamic, fluid dynamic a.s.o) wiith the possibility of user interaction. If you’re trying to do much more than that with T-splines then you will probably want to talk with Matt Sederberg about licensing the tslib library. The ON_Mesh is the same as the control cage - there is n-gon information if necessary, but that is standard in ON_Meshes now. The ON_Brep is a conversion of the T-spline, so if you’re just looking for display, then that would be sufficient. In a 3dm file, the T-spline data is stored as UserData attached to either an ON_Brep or an ON_Mesh, depending on whether you’re in box mode or smooth mode when you save.

What are you trying to do with the T-spline data? Are you able to read. However, you may or may not need to deal with all that stuff. Anyhow, it’s nice for end users, but the storage mechanism is quite complex at this point. Specifically, we went through lots of different variations for how to store t-spline data in a 3dm, and 2.x was backwards compatible with 1.x files, and 3.x is backwards compatible to 2.x files. So, it is possible to extract the t-spline data out of a 3dm.
