Standard for Exchange and Transfer (SET)

The interface SET is a standard for the exchange of all data which is generated for CAD/CAM. It is a French development and was first published in 1984 (SET 85). Several additions have been published since (SET F88, SET S 88 and SET V88). 

The information transferred via the SET interface are wire-frame, surface, B-representation and FEM models, as well as technical drawings and scientific data. Organizational, material property and tolerance information cannot be defined by individual models but they must be contained in the drawing for transfer.
