SolidWorks to JT CADverter Translation Service

The SolidWorks to JT CADverter is a direct database converter between the SolidWorks Modelling Application and the JT file format, used by the UGS VisMockUp Visualisation product. 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.

The translator integrates into the SolidWorks application allowing the user to export the active component or assembly into a JT representation. The process is controlled by a Graphical User Interface allowing the casual user to make effective use of the product without needing to remember complex command syntax.

A configuration file enables the user to control the output JT file characteristics, such as Level Of Detail (LOD) settings and chordal deviation values to control the tessellation faceting and the inclusion of BREP representation to allow detailed object measurement within the JT application etc.

This translator has been created using a combination of both the SolidWorks and JTOpen development toolkits, therefore ensuring that the translator works effectively with the native data of both applications.

SolidWorks to JT MAIN FEATURES

• Converts all types of 3D Geometry and Assembly structure information from SolidWorks to JT.
• Maintains assembly hierarchy information allowing the JT user to work with an identical view of the SolidWorks information.
• Converts attribute data including color information.
• Integrates into the SolidWorks installation for ease of use by casual users.
• The conversion process is controlled by a graphical user interface.
• JT file format controlled by configuration file, ensuring that output data is generated in a consistent style to suite the individual customer requirements.

SolidWorks to JT Main BENEFITS

• Being a direct database converter all pre and post processing is eliminated, saving time.
• Reduce costs due to processing time and increase overall conversion success levels by filtering input data and focusing the conversion to only those elements required.
• Reduce costs and risks associated to accessing the wrong version of data by integrating the conversion process into all related business processes.
• With over 15 years of industrial use CADverters robustness and quality is well proven, reducing your business risk.
