Data Model
The JT data model is capable of representing a wide range of engineering data. This data can be very lightweight, holding little more than facet data or it can be quite rich, containing complete NURBS geometry representations along with product structure, attributes, meta data and PMI. It also supports multiple tessellations and level-of-detail (LOD) generation.
- Product Structure - assembly, part, instance
- Facet - polygon, polygon set
- Lighting - light set, point light, infinite light
- Textures
- Precise Geometry and Topology - point, curve, surface, face, loop, edge, vertex
- Boundary representation (B-rep) could used either JT B-rep or XT B-rep(Parasolid) format.
- Geometry Primitives - box, cylinder, pyramid, sphere
- Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) - GD&T, 3D annotations
- Attributes / Properties - text, integer, float, date, layers
- Meta data - property filters, transforms, bounding box definitions

Famous quotes containing the words data and/or model:
“Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“The best way to teach a child restraint and generosity is to be a model of those qualities yourself. If your child sees that you want a particular item but refrain from buying it, either because it isn’t practical or because you can’t afford it, he will begin to understand restraint. Likewise, if you donate books or clothing to charity, take him with you to distribute the items to teach him about generosity.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
