The latest version enables CATIA V5 users to create a JT representation of their data and support the translation of assembly structure, geometry, attributes, 3D PMI and metadata between different CADCAM systems, and in doing so facilitate model-based definition (MBD) processes.
Using JT documents with additional 3D PMI data as part of an MBD process allows users to reduce the overall design costs associated with the creation of conventional 2D drawings. Furthermore, sharing CATIA V5 data using the neutral ISO standard JT format allows organisations to protect the intellectual property of their designs while permitting users to explore the shape to more easily understand the 3D definition.
