Pro/ENGINEER - Parasolid CADverter Translation Service

CADverter is a direct database converter between Parasolid and Pro Engineer. It enables the user to convert all forms of mechanical design geometry, as well as assembly information, between these two systems.

CADverter can be purchased as a uni-directional, Parasolid to Pro Engineer, or Pro Engineer to Parasolid product, or as a bi-directional product.

It can be used Interactively or in a batch mode, from a standard G.U.I Interface.

If you wish to visualise and interrogate the Parasolid or Pro Engineer files this can be done by using the integrated CADviewer product, which is included with CADverter.

CADverter reads and writes Parasolid and Pro Engineer neutral file data independent of the native CAD System and converts all geometry. If assembly data (product structure) is in the file, the assembly structure will be mapped between the two systems.

The user can filter data to optimise the process. In addition CADverter will work with other Theorem products including CADhealer.

MAIN FEATURES

• Converts all types of geometry, wire frame, surfaces, trimmed surfaces (faces) and solid models.
• Converts assembly structure between the systems.
• Reads and Writes Pro Engineer neutral files independently of Pro Engineer.
• Reads and Writes Parasolid files independently of Parasolid.
• The conversion process can be run Interactively or in Batch mode.
• CADviewer enables you to view the Parasolid and Pro Engineer files before and after conversion.
• Data can be filtered by layer and entity type.
• Geometry can be filtered and selectively processed.

BENEFITS

• Being a direct database converter all pre and post processing is eliminated, saving time.
• The integrated CADviewer enables you to verify visually, and verify by measuring the data pre and post conversion, eliminating time converting unwanted data, or sending out incorrect data.
• The CADviewer and filtering options allow you to selectively process the data, enabling you to optimise conversions and save time.
• The ability to read and write Pro Engineer neutral files and Parasolid data independently, eliminates the need to tie up expensive CAD licences, saving money.
• By converting all forms of geometry no data is lost, eliminating the time required to re-create missing data.
• With over 15 years industrial use CADverters robustness and quality is well proven, reducing your business risk.
