PiXYZ BATCH is basically the same product as PiXYZ STUDIO, without the User Interface, and meant to be used in Command Line on the targeted platform.

PiXYZ BATCH gives an access to the same PiXYZ Python API, with the same core algorithms for Data Preparation, but augmented of additional import/export (I/O) functions to allow automatic batch processing of CAD files.

How create scenarios for PiXYZ BATCH?

PiXYZ BATCH requires to be fed as input with a Data Preparation scenario made of Python code on one hand, and Data to process on the other hand.

There are two ways to create Python scenarios, before running them through a PiXYZ BATCH compute node, to process large sets of files automatically and obtain ready-to-use assets or virtual scenes :

  • With On-demand service: PiXYZ Software helps you build tailor-made Data Preparation strategies to best suit your needs.
  • PiXYZ STUDIO's GUI and scripting module can be used by advanced users to develop scenarios autonomously from PiXYZ Software.


NOTE                A PiXYZ BATCH customer automatically entitles to a PiXYZ STUDIO license, to use and to develop Data Preparation scenarios.


PiXYZ BATCH deployment example

Find below an example of PiXYZ BATCH integration within Siemens' Teamcenter, a Product Lifecycle Management tool. The combination of PiXYZ & Unity allowed to create a completely automated Data Preparation & optimization pipeline from Teamcenter to Unity engine.
