Feature Based CATIA V4 - UG NX CADverter Translation Service

CADverter is a direct database converter between CATIA and Unigraphics. It enables the user to convert all forms of Product Design data including Features, History, and Geometry, as well as assembly and attribute information, between these two systems.

CADverter can be purchased as a uni-directional, CATIA to Unigraphics, or Unigraphics to CATIA 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 CATIA or Unigraphics files this can be done by using the integrated CADviewer product, which is included with CADverter.

CADverter reads and writes CATIA and Unigraphics data and automatically generates a fully Featured model with its modelling history inside either CATIA or Unigraphics. If assembly data (product structure) is in the file, the assembly structure will be mapped between the two systems along with attributes such as colour and layer information.

The user can filter data to optimise the process. In addition CADverter will work with other Theorem products including CADhealer and Data Exchange Navigator (DXN).

Feature Based CATIA V4 / Unigraphics MAIN FEATURES

• Exchanges and enables the regeneration of Features and History.
• 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.
• Reads and Writes Unigraphics files independently of Unigraphics.
• The conversion process can be run Interactively or in Batch mode.
• CADviewer enables you to view the CATIA and Unigraphics files before and after conversion.
• Data can be filtered by layer and entity type.
• Data can be filtered and selectively processed, if you only want geometry you switch off features.

Feature Based CATIA V4 / Unigraphics BENEFITS

• Translating Features and History retains model intelligence and so the model is able to be quickly modified in the native system, saving design time.
• Being a direct database converter all pre and post processing is eliminated, saving time.
• The integrated CADviewer enables you to verify visually, and by measurement, 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 Unigraphics and CATIA data and generate a fully featured model reduces design time and saves money.
• By converting all forms of data including features and 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.
