Open Mind develops CATIA interface in HyperCAD-S

Working in co-operation with French company, TFTLabs, Open Mind Technologies has developed a CAD conversion interface in HyperCAD-S that converts CATIA V5 data to HyperCAD-S data.

The CAD conversion portal in is designed for users who only need to transfer models occasionally, and companies that are not yet in a position to assess their future conversion volume. The interface is a 'service-on-demand' that is called upon only when required. Costs are therefore only incurred on a pay-per-use basis.

Clicking the 'CAD Conversion Portal' tab in HyperCAD-S opens a menu window for selecting CATIA V5 models. Before the model data is converted, the user is shown a 3D preview. If everything is correct, the conversion can start.

Importantly, the data is available immediately for processing in HyperCAD-S. The interface is a cloud service that downloads the conversion software, which means that the actual transfer of data always takes place on the user's local computer.
