| TerraSim Xtract represents a revolutionary new concept to fully support legacy database processing for reuse within even the most demanding modeling and simulation applications.
Xtract is a low cost, standalone application with support for 32 and 64 bit Windows workstations. Using TerraSim's proven and advanced terrain generation technology, Xtract works out of the box with a clean and simple user interface. Since there are no embedded format editors, Xtract simplifies the legacy reuse process. |

Extract | Enhance | Reuse
Xtract ingests databases in the following formats:
- OTBSAF CTDB
- OneSAF OTF
- OpenFlight databases and individual models
Databases are converted to multiple representations of terrain surfaces, geospatial vectors, and 3D model libraries. For example, a terrain surface can be simultaneously exported as gridded DEM, as a triangulated irregular network (TIN), as well as a reprojected and resampled grid, all under user control.
Xtract supports simultaneous model extraction and enhancement, converting to 3DStudioMax, COLLADA, VBS2 P3D, OpenFlight, and tiled scenegraph (TSG) format.

Xtract™ automatically and simultaneously enhances the utility of the extracted geospatial data. Enhancement includes manipulation of source data attribution, geospatial coordinate reprojection, and resampling of geoposition surface spacing—all within the primary Xtract function. This intrinsic processing means that the full fidelity of the legacy source data is preserved. The need for the creation and management of large numbers of intermediate files or data representations is eliminated.
With Xtract's simple interface, users select a set of export formats for digital elevation models (DEMs), vector data, and 3D models and textures. In one step, a terrain surface model can be simultaneously extracted and stored as NGA DTED, ESRI Gridascii and Gridfloat, and as a Geotiff image. This process ensures correlation and streamlines database reuse work flow.
Xtract exports to the widest variety of third party geospatial data processing products, including Global Mapper, 3DStudio Max, Bohemia Interactive Oxygene, ESRI ArcGIS, OpenSceneGraph viewers, Google Earth, Presagis Creator, and more.
