SDAI File

Like the STEP-File format (part21) and the STEP-XML specification (part28) the main purpose of the SDAI format is the exchange of EXPRESS defined data. The main difference of the SDAI format is its binary encoding, optimized for writing and reading speed. Together with other features the SDAI format is ideally suited for exchange and backup of the whole SdaiRepository of any size.

Features

  • Binary format optimized for reading and writing speed
  • Built-in compression (zip)
  • Included rich meta information of the used EXPRESS schemas in order to be able to convert its contents into corresponding STEP-Files or STEP-XML representations.
  • Inclusion of external documents
