Abstract
Methods and systems for translating models generated in one modeling environment into models that can be used in other modeling environments are disclosed. Because models are created using different data formats in different modeling environments, models generated in one modeling environment are generally incompatible with other models in other modeling environments. Therefore, the present invention provides a neutral data format that can store information on models generated in one modeling environment, and that can be used by other modeling environments to create their models. The present invention may export models created in one modeling environment into the neutral data format. The neutral data format may subsequently be imported into other modeling environments in which new models are generated using the information contained in the neutral data format. The present invention also provides animation of the newly generated models by animation clients via open animation interfaces. The open animation interfaces support multiple animation clients at a simultaneous time.
