DSFmodeller

DSFmodeller is a cross-platform open-source application for creating, editing, and visualizing models described by DSF files. It targets engineering, simulation, and data modeling workflows where the DSF format serves as the primary model description. The project emphasizes accessibility, reproducibility, and interoperability with other DSF tools.

Key features include a graphical user interface for interactive modeling and a scripting interface for automation. It supports importing common geometry formats and exporting to DSF and interchange formats. The software offers parametric and node-based workflows, a constraint system, metadata annotations, and real-time visualization with multiple rendering modes. It provides basic DSF schema validation and project templates to streamline tasks. Documentation and tutorials are available to assist new users.

DSFmodeller uses a modular architecture designed for extensibility. The core is implemented in C++ with a Qt-based user interface and a plugin API for extensions, exporters, and importers. The project is cross-platform, running on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The DSF ecosystem and related tools are supported through a public repository, issue tracker, and community forums.

DSFmodeller is released under an open-source license. The project encourages community contributions and provides a roadmap, release notes, and example DSF files to aid adoption.
