Abstract
In example embodiments, a proprietary implementation of solid modeling is provided at run-time as a binary to an open-source infrastructure modeling platform. The binary includes functionality of a solid modeling module that manipulates and uses BReps that represent geometry of elements of an infrastructure model. When an application that utilizes the open-source infrastructure modeling platform requires solid modeling, it may have a backend module call an exposed function of a DLL that returns a pointer to the binary. The backend module uses the pointer to create a session, which may be divided into a number of individual partitions that each correspond to one of its individual threads. BReps may be assigned to individual partitions. When a thread requires BReps to be manipulated and/or used, the corresponding partition may be used to acquire the needed BReps, perform the solid modeling operations, and either return results or an error.
