BRep Format

# Introduction

BREP format is used to store 3D models and allows to store a model which consists of vertices, edges, wires, faces, shells, solids, compsolids, compounds, edge triangulations, face triangulations, polylines on triangulations, space location and orientation. Any set of such models may be stored as a single model which is a compound of the models.

The format is described in an order which is convenient for understanding rather than in the order the format parts follow each other. BNF-like definitions are used in this document. Most of the chapters contain BREP format descriptions in the following order:

• format file fragment to illustrate the part;
• BNF-like definition of the part;
• detailed description of the part.

Note that the format is a part of Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT).

Some data fields of the format have additional values, which are used in OCCT.

Some data fields of the format are specific for OCCT.

# Format Common Structure

ASCII encoding is used to read/write BREP format from/to file. The format data are stored in a file as text data.

BREP format uses the following BNF terms:

• <\n>: It is the operating-system-dependent ASCII character sequence which separates ASCII text strings in the operating system used;
• <_\n>: = " "*<\n>;
• <_>: = " "+; It is a not empty sequence of space characters with ASCII code 21h;
• <flag>: = "0" | "1";
• <int>: It is an integer number from -231 to 231-1 which is written in denary system;
• <real>: It is a real from -1.7976931348623158 $$\cdot$$ 10308 to 1.7976931348623158 $$\cdot$$ 10308 which is written in decimal or E form with base 10.The point is used as a delimiter of the integer and fractional parts;
• <2D point>: = <real><_><real>;
• <3D point>: = <real>(<_><real)>2;
• <2D direction>: It is a <2D point> x y* so that *x2 + y2 = 1;
• <3D direction>: It is a <3D point> x y z* so that *x2 + y2 + z2 = 1;
• <+>: It is an arithmetic operation of addition.

The format consists of the following sections:

• <content type>;
• <version>;
• <locations>;
• <geometry>;
• <shapes>.

<content type> = "DBRep_DrawableShape" <_\n><_\n>; <content type> have other values [1].

<version> = ("CASCADE Topology V1, (c) Matra-Datavision" | "CASCADE Topology V2, (c) Matra-Datavision")<_\n>; The difference of the versions is described in the document.

Sections <locations>, <geometry> and <shapes> are described below in separate chapters of the document.

BNF-like Definition

    <locations> = <location header> <_\n> <location records>;
<location header> = "Locations" <_> <location record count>;
<location record count> = <int>;
<location records> = <location record> ^ <location record count>;
<location record> = <location record 1> | <location record 2>;
<location record 1> = "1" <_\n> <location  data 1>;
<location record 2> = "2" <_> <location  data 2>;
<location data 1> = ((<_> <real>) ^ 4 <_\n>) ^ 3;
<location data 2> = (<int> <_> <int> <_>)* "0" <_\n>;


Description

<location data 1> is interpreted as a 3 x 4 matrix $$Q = \begin{pmatrix} {q}_{1,1} &{q}_{1,2} &{q}_{1,3} &{q}_{1,4}\\ {q}_{2,1} &{q}_{2,2} &{q}_{2,3} &{q}_{2,4}\\ {q}_{3,1} &{q}_{3,2} &{q}_{3,3} &{q}_{3,4} \end{pmatrix}$$  which describes transformation of 3 dimensional space and satisfies the following constraints:

• $$d \neq 0$$ where $$d = |Q_{2}|$$ where $$Q_{2} = \begin{pmatrix} {q}_{1,1} &{q}_{1,2} &{q}_{1,3} &{q}_{1,4}\\ {q}_{2,1} &{q}_{2,2} &{q}_{2,3} &{q}_{2,4}\\ {q}_{3,1} &{q}_{3,2} &{q}_{3,3} &{q}_{3,4} \end{pmatrix};$$
• $$Q_{3}^{T} = Q_{3}^{-1}$$ where $$Q_{3} = Q_{2}/d^{1/3}.$$

The transformation transforms a point (x, y, z) to another point (u, v, w) by the rule:

$\begin{pmatrix} u \\ v \\ w \end{pmatrix} = Q\cdot(x\;y\;z\;1)^{T} = \begin{pmatrix} {q}_{1,1}\cdot x +{q}_{1,2}\cdot y +{q}_{1,3}\cdot z +{q}_{1,4}\\ {q}_{2,1}\cdot x +{q}_{2,2}\cdot y +{q}_{2,3}\cdot z +{q}_{2,4}\\ {q}_{3,1}\cdot x +{q}_{3,2}\cdot y +{q}_{3,3}\cdot z +{q}_{3,4} \end{pmatrix} .$

Q may be a composition of matrices for the following elementary transformations:

• parallel translation – $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 &0 &0 &{q}_{1,4}\\ 0 &1 &0 &{q}_{2,4}\\ 0 &0 &1 &{q}_{3,4} \end{pmatrix};$$
• rotation around an axis with a direction *D(Dx, Dy, Dz)* by an angle $$\varphi$$ –

$\begin{pmatrix} D_{x}^{2} \cdot (1-cos(\varphi)) + cos(\varphi) &D_{x} \cdot D_{y} \cdot (1-cos(\varphi)) - D_{z} \cdot sin(\varphi) &D_{x} \cdot D_{z} \cdot (1-cos(\varphi)) + D_{y} \cdot sin(\varphi) &0\\ D_{x} \cdot D_{y} \cdot (1-cos(\varphi)) + D_{z} \cdot sin(\varphi) &D_{y}^{2} \cdot (1-cos(\varphi)) + cos(\varphi) &D_{y} \cdot D_{z} \cdot (1-cos(\varphi)) - D_{x} \cdot sin(\varphi) &0\\ D_{x} \cdot D_{z} \cdot (1-cos(\varphi)) - D_{y} \cdot sin(\varphi) &D_{y} \cdot D_{z} \cdot (1-cos(\varphi)) + D_{x} \cdot sin(\varphi) &D_{z}^{2} \cdot (1-cos(\varphi)) + cos(\varphi) &0 \end{pmatrix};$

• scaling – $$\begin{pmatrix} s &0 &0 &0\\ 0 &s &0 &0\\ 0 &0 &s &0 \end{pmatrix}$$ where $$S \in (-\infty,\; \infty)/\left \{ 0 \right \};$$
• central symmetry – $$\begin{pmatrix} -1 &0 &0 &0\\ 0 &-1 &0 &0\\ 0 &0 &-1 &0 \end{pmatrix};$$
• axis symmetry – $$\begin{pmatrix} -1 &0 &0 &0\\ 0 &-1 &0 &0\\ 0 &0 &1 &0 \end{pmatrix};$$
• plane symmetry – $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 &0 &0 &0\\ 0 &1 &0 &0\\ 0 &0 &-1 &0 \end{pmatrix}.$$

<location data 2> is interpreted as a composition of locations raised to a power and placed above this <location data 2> in the section <locations>. <location data 2> is a sequence $$l_{1}p_{1} ... l_{n}p_{n}$$ of $$n \geq 0$$ integer pairs $$l_{i}p_{i} \; (1 \leq i \leq n)$$. <flag> 0 is the indicator of the sequence end. The sequence is interpreted as a composition $$L_{l_{1}}^{p_{1}} \cdot ... \cdot L_{l_{n}}^{p_{n}}$$ where $$L_{l_{i}}$$ is a location from $$l_{i}$$-th <location record> in the section locations. <location record> numbering starts from 1.

The offset curve is the result of offsetting the base curve *B* described in the record to the distance *d* along the vector $$[B'(u),\; D] \neq \vec{0}$$. The offset curve is defined by the following parametric equation:

$C(u)=B(u)+d \cdot \frac{[B'(u),\; D]}{|[B'(u),\; D]|},\; u \in domain(B) .$

The example record is interpreted as an offset curve with a distance d=2, direction D=(0, 1, 0), base curve $$B(u)=(1,2,3)+u \cdot (1,0,0)$$ and defined by the following parametric equation: $$C(u)=(1,2,3)+u \cdot (1,0,0)+2 \cdot (0,0,1)$$.

Description

<shape flag word> $$f_{1}\; f_{2}\; f_{3}\; f_{4}\; f_{5}\; f_{6}\; f_{7}$$ <flag>s $$f_{i}\;(1\leq i \leq 7)$$ are interpreted as shape flags in the following way:

• $$f_{1}$$ – free;
• $$f_{2}$$ – modified;
• $$f_{3}$$ – IGNORED(version 1) \ checked (version 2);
• $$f_{4}$$ – orientable;
• $$f_{5}$$ – closed;
• $$f_{6}$$ – infinite;
• $$f_{7}$$ – convex.

The flags are used in a special way [1].

<shape subshape orientation> is interpreted in the following way:

• + – forward;
• - – reversed;
• i – internal;
• e – external.

<shape subshape orientation> is used in a special way [1].

<shape subshape number> is the number of a <shape record> which is located in this section above the <shape subshape number>. <shape record> numbering is backward and starts from 1.

<shape subrecord> types are interpreted in the following way:

• "Ve" – vertex;
• "Ed" – edge;
• "Wi" – wire;
• "Fa" – face;
• "Sh" – shell;
• "So" – solid;
• "CS" – compsolid;
• "Co" – compound.

<shape final record> determines the orientation and location for the whole model.
