v0.2.1 - beta 1
Release date: Jul-2023
We're happy to announce the first public beta release
For request to the beta, please send an email to office@aitac.nl

Importer:
Known issues:
- Some panels are created with a duplicate which cannot be updated and need to be deleted.
- Some OCX files may contain unsupported attributes or elements, we need more models to test with. We'll appreciate your help.
- Some OCX files may lead to 3DEXPERIENCE and/or AITAC OCX eXchanger crashing. We need more files to identify the cause.
- Not all openings are being created, we're looking into the issue.

Exporter:
Unfortunately Exporter is excluded from this release. We're doing our best to resolve the issues.
 

v0.1.3 - release 4
Release date: Apr-2023

Importer:
Basic Geometry
- Line, Arc, Circle, Polyline, sketch
- Surface from closed 2d curve
- NURBS - implemented with limitations
Structure
- Panels mostly done - implementing usage of different types as supports and limits
- Stiffeners mostly done - added possibility to use existing SRS planes as Stiffener support
- Stiffener on free edge
- Brackets - implemented as panels
- Openings - creating parametric openings (Round, Oblong, Rectangular)
TODO NEXT:
- Panel - still some missing metadata due to OCX Schema limitations
- Stiffener - still some missing metadata due to OCX Schema limitations
- Stiffener on free edge - limitation identified. Panel on which Faceplate is to be create should not have multiple limits where a single faceplate should be created. Also, Panel that contains seams cannot contain Stiffener on free edge crossing over a seams
- Brackets - under development
- Openings - catalogue openings still not done
- Mapping - Material, Cross Section, Thickness, Catalogue openings, Catalogue Brackets.

Exporter:
