OpenCasCade / (Python)OCC could help you, and is basically the only option if you're keen on developing your application with Open Source code.

See opencascade.org (or pythonocc.org if you're familiar with Python).

The methods you're looking for are BRepBuilderAPI_MakePolygon to construct the faces, and BRepBuilderAPI_Sewing to join the faces into a solid. Alternatively you could use BRepBuilderAPI_Shell to create a shell from the faces, and create a Solid with BRepBuilderAPI_Solid to build the solid. OCC reads / writes IGES & STEP.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Does anybody know of a simple way to create a solid model usable in a
CAE program from a polygon? I would need one of the following file
formats:

3Dxml
ACIS (.sat)
IGES
STEP
Parasolid

Thanks for any help,

Martin.
