Sorry for double posting, but I guess I&#039;ll try here.<\/p>\n<p>We use the Ansys standalone SPEOS product, which in 2022R1 began to default to using SpaceClaim in the &quot;parasolid kernel&quot; mode, which is controlled by the SPACECLAIM_MODE system environment variable.<\/p>\n<p>This results in SpaceClaim defaulting to saving new designs as *.scdocx file, which I assume are using the Parasolid kernel.<\/p>\n<p>The SpaceClaim documentation doesn&#039;t mention that it has a parasolid kernel mode at all.<\/p>\n<p>Does anyone have any insight in to the better way to use SpaceClaim? I&#039;m not doing the sort of work where the kernel matters. I just want minimal hassle in the future working with files I create today. I&#039;m inclined to stick with *.scdoc files when I&nbsp;can until this transition shakes out.<\/p>\n<p>I believe Ansys is sunsetting SpaceClaim to merge it into the Discovery product, and I know they license the parasolid kernel from Siemens and the ACIS kernel from Daussault. I imagine they&#039;d rather pay their MCAD competitors as little as possible. Does anyone know what kernel Discovery is using? That might shed some light on the format I should use for my Speos files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-167116","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["4538"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["250348"],"_edit_lock":["1681288771:2"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["167116"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_engagement":["62","250348"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["207759"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["207759"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-03-09 10:16:59"]},"test":"ryanergodriven-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/167116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/167116\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
