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:
“To write it, it took three months; to conceive it three minutes; to collect the data in it—all my life.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“I had a wonderful job. I worked for a big model agency in Manhattan.... When I got on the subway to go to work, it was like traveling into another world. Oh, the shops were beautiful, we had Bergdorf’s, Bendel’s, Bonwit’s, DePinna. The women wore hats and gloves. Another world. At home, it was cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, going to PTA, Girl Scouts. But when I got into the office, everything was different, I was different.”
—Estelle Shuster (b. c. 1923)
