Chapter 2. SAT Save File Format Topic: SAT Save and Restore ACIS can store modeling information in external files, called save files. These files have an open format so that external applications, even those not based on ACIS, can have access to the ACIS geometric model. The basic information needed to understand the ACIS file format (focusing on the reading, or restore, operation), includes the structure of the save file format, how data is encapsulated, the types of data written, and subtypes and references. Save File Types Topic: *SAT Save and Restore ACIS supports two kinds of save files, SAT and SAB, which stand for “Standard ACIS Text” and “Standard ACIS Binary”, respectively. Although one is ASCII text and the other is binary data, the model data information stored in the two formats is identical, so the term SAT file is generally used to refer to either (when no distinction is needed). SAT files are ASCII text files that may be viewed with a simple text editor. A SAT file contains carriage returns, white space and other formatting that makes it readable to the human eye. A SAT file has a .sat file extension. SAB files cannot be viewed with a simple text editor and are meant for compactness and not for human readability. A SAB file has a .sab file extension. A SAB file uses delimiters between elements and binary tags, without additional formatting. The binary formats supported are: int . . . . . . . . . . 4--byte 2s complement (as long) long . . . . . . . . . 4--byte 2s complement double . . . . . . . 8--byte IEEE char . . . . . . . . . 1--byte ASCII SAT Format D 7.0 where “byte” is eight bits, and files are considered to be byte strings. For multi--byte data items, byte order normally just matches that of the processor being used, but a specific order
