CATIA V5 - SolidWorks CADverter Translation Service

CADverter is a direct database converter between CATIA V5 and SolidWorks. It enables the user to convert all forms of mechanical design geometry, as well as assembly and attribute information, between these two systems.

CADverter can be purchased as a uni-directional, CATIA V5 to SolidWorks, or SolidWorks to CATIA V5 product, or as a bi-directional product.

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

CADverter reads and writes CATIA V5 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 as well as colour and layer information.

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

CATIA V5 / SolidWorks MAIN FEATURES

• Converts all types of geometry, wire frame, surfaces, trimmed surfaces (faces) and solid models.
• Converts pipes and harness data including components.
• Converts assembly structure between the systems.
• Converts attribute data including colour and layer information.
• Reads and Writes CATIA V5 files independently of CATIA.
• CADviewer enables you to view the CATIA V5 files before and after conversion.
• Data can be filtered by layer and entity type.
• Geometry can be filtered and selectively processed.

CATIA V5 / SolidWorks 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 CATIA V5 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 20 years industrial use CADverters robustness and quality is well proven, reducing your business risk.
