Generate midsurfaces of Parasolids

Generate midsurfaces of Parasolids

(OP)
Does anyone know of any relatively inexpensive software that I can use to generate the midsurface faces of parasolid models that consist mainly of thin plates. I would like to be able to convert these so I can mesh them with shells rather than 3D elements.

Many thanks.

One software springs to mind but it unfortunately does not meet your "inexpensive" requirement, see http://www.fegs.co.uk/medial.html

It depends on what you mean by "inexpensive". Femap can do it but I doubt the "price is right" unfortunately.
