Unfortunately no. The input files are human readable geometrical models. Each tool has a different way of defining the basic shapes, coordinate systems and transformations, material properties, etc. so there's a lot of knowledge embedded in each of the reader modules to allow conversion from each tool's format to our own neutral format. We don't want to expose knowledge of the internals of one tool to its competitors. Anyway, this is now off-topic for this list so I'll stop here. Thanks for the help and suggestions.
