Multi-CAD enables CATIA users who receive and create JT data to work with and share data between CATIA and applications which can consume or create JT data, it is available in uni-directional and bi-directional versions.For the CATIA user it provides the added ability to work in Multi-CAD mode enabling associative design in context. In this mode it maintains an associative link back to the source JT data and ensures JT remains the master data source in this mode.In Translator mode it provides bi-directional translation between JT and CATIA in batch and interactively. The translation process supports a rich set of data including product structure, part data, attributes and FTA (PMI) information, making it an ideal tool for Model Based Definition use.When used interactively inside CATIA it enables the user to do open and insert existing component with JT files.The ChallengeFaced with the need to use both CATIA V5 and JT data to complete a single product design and manufacturing task a designer has the choice of a number of different approaches to the problem.The traditional approach is to translate the JT data to CATIA V5, using either a standards based method such as STEP or a direct database translator. In doing so the original JT data is converted to a CATIA V5 representation. There are several downsides to this approach. One is recognizing when a design change takes place which has resulted in a new JT file and managing the process ofupdating the CATIA V5 representation to take into account those changes following completion of the initial translation process. Another is having the knowledge to run a separate translation process and the time and costs associated with doing that.The SolutionTheorem's latest data translation products with advanced functionality are enabling the support of a Multi-CAD strategy, so that "design in context" can be undertaken without the

Theorem's advanced data translation tools are paving the way for new functionality to support Dassault Systemes' MultiCAx initiative - which calls for interoperability to be in the hands of users, so that "design in context" can be undertaken without the need for external translation of non CATIA V5 parts. With the option to bring in FTA data from NX, manufacturing users will have all of the information needed to make the part. Within the MultiCAx environment, CATIA V5 users are able to select a part or assembly designed in NX, and cause it to appear as a node on their CATIA V5 design tree; either as a single component or full assembly, as appropriate. A prime objective of Theorem Solutions MultiCAX Plug-In product is to enable the use of NX data parts, assemblies and 3D dimensions and annotations (FTA) inside a V5 session. The 3D dimension and annotation feature will be a separate optional licensed feature, except for DELMIA customers migrating from MUP where this feature will be provided as standard. The user will be able to manipulate heterogeneous CAD data for Review and Design in context purposes with a link back to the NX data. NX Multi-cad import is built upon the strategic DS XCAD CAA platform, this platform enables the Import of data to V5 with integrated control of quality. This application also supports the capability of outputting the data in 3DXML format. This MultiCAX Plug-In as well as enabling the user to generate data that is linked back to the original UG representation, and therefore support the ability to track and update respective to changes, it will also support Design in Context DMU and explicit design modification. Using the Plug-In with explicit modification enables the data to be subsequently modified within CATIA but removes all links back to the originating UG data. The application whilst it can be operated interactively within CATIA V5 will also be able to be run in batch mode from a command line interface ext

The JT to 3D XML CADverter is a direct database converter between the JT file format, used by the Siemens VisMockUp Visualisation products, and the 3D XML universal, lightweight XML based format. It enables users to capture and share live, accurate 3D data quickly and easily. Once in the 3D XML format it describes 3D information in both graphic and in precise form, creating product structure, geometry and meta data such as graphical properties. JT PMI data is also converted enabling its use in 3D XML format for manufacturing purposes. It enables users of 3D Live and 3D Via to work with the 3D XML files which were originally in the JT format. It can be invoked in either an interactive or batch mode. The command line interface allows the conversion process to be integrated into any process oriented operation e.g. create a 3D XML representation of the data while saving the 3D XML data to a data vault. This product has been developed using a combination of the Siemens JT Open and Dassault Systemes strategic XCAD technology ensuring full compatibility with both systems. JT assembly and BREP geometry is translated into native 3D XML assembly structure and BREP definitions. In addition JT tessellated data may be processed into the 3D XML tessellated output format. JT PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) is created as equivalent 3D XML structures.
