Solidworks TopSolid Compatibility

Hello

We're probably going to have to work with people who use TopSolid. Only, we use Solidworks. Do you know if these 2 software programs are now fully compatible or if there is data loss when you switch from one software to the other? Whether it is at the level of the "part" or "assembly" files. Do we keep the creation trees as well as the constraints?

Thank you in advance for your help

No compatibility between these 2 softwares, you  have to go through a neutral format (parasolid, step, sat...)

Parasolid is logically the most suitable for these 2 softwares.

 

So no constraints, tree structure and other. Just bodies and the whole fixed or free.

Hello

TopSolid natively recovers from Solidworks (slpprt, sldasm). He also knows how to transform mechanically welded parts into TopSolid assemblies, recover properties, materials, attributes, etc. but not the building shaft. 

In the other direction, it's parasolid as sbadenis points out. 

It all depends on the nature of your exchanges (customer/supplier, partner) and the final needs but in fact it often goes very well :-)
