But the poor confused idiot wrote in response to:
"Did you say that Solid Works uses ACIS routines?"
Confused idiot:
"Yes. As SolidWorks has continued to develop more and more
ACIS DLL's appear when SolidWorks gets installed."

Solid Edge was ACIS based up until version 5 at which time they switched to
Parasolid. The switch was fairly painless (open and save all files in the
new version) and resulted in a more powerful, faster and reliable modeler.

All true. However, lets jump forward to today:
ACIS has greatly improved.
ACIS offers surfacing functionality that is not included in the
ParaSolid kernel.
Solid Edge relatively new surfacing functionality Rapid Blue is not
part of Parasolid.
No one besides UGS has built a seamless, unified, hybrid modeler using
Parasolid.
One of the major reason companies like Cimatron, Concepts Unlimited,
Kubotech, etc. go with ACIS is because of the surface functionality
that is a part of ACIS that is not a part of Parasolid.
http://www.spatial.com/components/acis/
"ACIS features an open, object-oriented C++ architecture that enables
robust, 3D modeling capabilities. ACIS is ideal for constructing
applications with hybrid modeling features, since it integrates
wireframe, surface, and solid modeling functionality with both manifold
and non-manifold topology, and a rich set of geometric operations. With
ACIS, you get a sound base of 3D modeling functionality, plus the
flexibility to meet individual application requirements."

So it's got problems, in your opine. What else is new?

|
NURBS is NURBS, right?
LOL .... not a clue.

What do you think a kernel is?

Idiots with buzzwords could not.
What's ParaSolid? What's a kernel? What's NURBS? What's a surface?
A solid?
What's inside a solid? Little red & blue frogs?

You never have a clue, do you?
Not once, in all these years.

So what? It's a sales blurb, right? Where you get buzzwords from?
