JT (visualization format)
open-in-new
<p>JT (Jupiter Tessellation) is an openly-published ISO-standardized 3D <a href="/facts/CAD_data_exchange/E2rphx4p">CAD data exchange</a> format used for <a href="/facts/Product_visualization/xVfxo6FJ">product visualization</a>, <a href="/facts/Collaboration/8rkNh7hP">collaboration</a>, <a href="/facts/Digital_mockup/5zLG6TYa">digital mockups</a>, and other purposes. It was developed by <a href="/facts/Siemens/coa80TQn">Siemens</a>. </p><p>It can contain any combination of approximate (faceted) data, boundary representation surfaces (<a href="/facts/NURBS/MA0NjmeC">NURBS</a>), Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI), and <a href="/facts/Metadata/qt35z79C">Metadata</a> (textual attributes) either exported from the native <a href="/facts/Computer-aided_design/5gSXrmmN">CAD</a> system or inserted by a <a href="/facts/Product_data_management/9ATPbmAz">product data management (PDM)</a> system. </p><p>The JT format contains a <a href="/facts/Scene_graph/faNe9vSu">scene graph</a> representation of an assembly, nested sub-assemblies of parts with CAD specific node and attributes data.: 17 <a href="/facts/Facet_(geometry)/IreRHGJ7">Facet</a> information (triangles) is stored by using geometry compression techniques. Visual attributes of 3D scene and model like lights, textures, and/or materials are supported. Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI), Precise Part definitions (BRep), additional metadata, and a variety of representation configurations are supported. The JT format is designed to be <a href="/facts/File_stream/2jtBAp0U">streamable</a>.: 17 </p>
