CATIA V5 / Pro-Engineer CADverter

PARTNER SOLUTION

Product OverviewThe CATIA V5 JT CADverter is a bi-directional direct database converter between the CATIA V5 Modeling Application and the JT file format, used by the Siemens Teamcenter Visualization products. It enables the user to convert all forms of 3 Dimensional Mechanical Design Geometry and Assembly data, together with system defined attribute information and colour information, between these two systems.This product is designed for CATIA V5 users who have selected JT to be their visualization system and therefore need to translate their CATIA V5 data into the JT format, or who need to send/receive JT files to/from customers or suppliers.The translator can be invoked in either an interactive or batch mode with the command line interface allowing the conversion process to be integrated into any process oriented operation. Alternatively the conversion process may be operated by using a standard Graphical User Interface.Main Features Converts all types of geometry, wire frame, surfaces, trimmed surfaces (faces) and solid models. Converts assembly structure between the systems. Converts attribute data including colour and layer information. Integrated with the CATIA V5 installation. The conversion process can be run Interactively or Batch mode. Command line interface allows process integration. Data can be filtered by layer and entity type during processing. Geometry can be filtered and selectively processed. Uses the CATIA API and Siemens JTOpen API to read and write data. In creating JT files a number of data types can be generated. A facetted representation, a JT Brep definition or an XT Brep definition. As standard a facetted representation is created withthe user selecting whether JT or XT Brep definition is created.

The 3DVIA Composer JT Plug-in CADverter is a direct database converter between the JT file format, used by the Siemens Teamcenter Visualization products, and Dassault Systèmes 3DVIA Composer application. It enables users to interactively open JT data directly into the 3DVIA Composer environment. Once data has been opened it can be completely manipulated using the extensive functionality of the 3DVIA Composer application, allowing the user to access any product structure information, and geometry, while authoring 3DVIA Composer output. In addition to assembly structure and geometry information any JT Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) data is also converted enabling it to be used for manufacturing output purposes .As well as the interactive solution there are also two optional licenses available to automate the creation of 3DVIA Composer output using the 3DVIA Sync or 3DVIA Enterprise Sync interfaces. The 3DVIA Sync interface enables the creation of 3DVIA Composer .smg output using the batch mode translator. The use of the 3DVIA Enterprise Sync command line interface allows the conversion process to be integrated into any process oriented operation e.g the creation of 3DVIA Composer .smg representations of the JT data as an automated process within a Product Lifecycle Management workflow.This product has been developed using a combination of the Siemens JT Open and Dassault Systèmes strategic XCAD technology, ensuring full compatibility with both systems.JT assembly and tessellated or BREP geometry is translated into native 3DVIA Composer assembly structure and geometry definitions. JT PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) is created as equivalent 3DVIA Composer data structures.

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 in a future module to bring in FTA data from Pro/E, 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 Pro/E, 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 Pro/E 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 and available in 2009. The user will be able to manipulate heterogeneous CAD data for Review and Design in context purposes with a link back to the Pro/E data. Pro/E 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 Pro/E 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 Pro/E 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 external to CATIA V5.
