ACIS saves or stores, model information to
ACIS save files (also known as
part save files or
part files).
ACIS also restores model information from these files. These files have an open format so that applications not based on
ACIS can have access to the
ACIS model. There are two types of
ACIS save files: text (file extension
.sat, which stands for Standard
ACIS Text) and binary (file extension
.sab, which stands for Standard
ACIS Binary). The only difference between these files is that the data is stored as ASCII text in a
.sat file and in binary form in a
.sab file. The organization of a
.sat file and a ..sab file is identical. The term
SAT file is generally used to refer to both.
