Okino Transfer File

The Okino .bdf file format is the native format used by Okino's PolyTrans and NuGraf products. It is a "snap shot" of the core Okino 3D scene graph database and in essence is a super-set of the capabilities of most 3D files formats. It is the preferred and best file format to use when converting data between 3ds Max (via the PolyTrans-for-3dsMax native plug-in system) and Maya (via the PolyTrans-for-Maya native plug-in system).

OrcaFlex

OrcaFlex is a leading package for the dynamic analysis of offshore marine systems. OrcaFlex is renowned for its breadth of technical capability and user friendliness. OrcaFlex is used by offshore engineering business, with others in seismic, defence, ocean engineering, oceanographic research, aquaculture and related fields.

Converting data from Okino's conversion software into OrcaFlex can best be achieved using the DirectX file format, using Okino's bullet-proof DirectX export conversion system. The Orcina WEB site recommends that the exported models not be too large. If you are converting CAD models then you can set the mesh density on each Okino CAD importer. You can also use Okino's CAD-biased polygon reduction system to reduce the models prior to re-export to DirectX file format.
