CATIA V5i-JT can be packaged with Theorem’s JT-CATIA V5i to create a bi-directional product that enables users to convert all forms of 3D mechanical design geometry and assembly data, together with system-defined attribute and colour information, in both directions.
Theorem’s CATIA V5i-JT visualisation solution allows CATIA users to continue working while reading or writing JT data without needing access to their CATIA V5 licences. Licences of vendor-specific CAD applications are expensive resources to purchase and maintain. Moreover, they are often tied up for long periods of time on other design activities. The latest release has been developed using the Spatial (Dassault Systemes) Interop Development Environment and supports all CATIA V5 revisions from V5 R15 to V5-6R2018, as well as all versions of JT.
Newly developed features and enhancements include the ability to process associated attribute data – non-graphical data such as materials and costs – and write it out into JT, providing a broader set of information that supports the CAD information. Also added is the ability to control the processing of properties through the use of a property mapping file that enables the user to manipulate and filter which attribute data is exported, protecting any IP data.
There is also now an option to report mass property values into the progress file for review. Values such as volume, surface area and centre of gravity can be reported in an audit log used to validate the conversion process.
