Non-CATIA CAD data seemlessly available to CATIA V5 users

Through the application of its CADverter technology, Theorem Solutions provides new interoperability capabilities for CATIA V5 users. This supports Dassault’s MultiCAD initiative which calls for interoperability to be in the hands of users, so that ‘design in context’ can be undertaken without the need for external translation of non CATIA V5 parts. Within the MultiCAD environment, CATIA V5 users are able to select a part or assembly in a third party format such as UGNX and cause it to appear as a node on their CATIA V5 design tree; either as a single component or full assembly, as appropriate. Specification of the required components to be worked on automatically initiates the Theorem translation technology to bring the non CATIA data into the CATIA V5 session in the user’s desired CGR or Brep format, depending on the CATIA session settings.
