Theorem's First CATIA V6 JT CADverter Now Available
Theorem Solutions CADverter portfolio has taken on a new dimension with the arrival of the first CATIA V6 translation product with more to follow in the coming months. Theorem's first translator for CATIA V6 <> JT is now available. Theorem's strong partnership with Dassault Systemes and reputation for quality and robustness of product ensures that the first CATIA V6 translators will not disappoint! Enabling direct translation of data between CATIA V6 and JT for the first time, the new CADverter from Theorem is already proving to be an important addition to the company's portfolio.
Theorem's CATIA V6 to/from JT translator enables the translation of all types of JT data into and out of the CATIA V6 format using the 3DXML file format.
With the use of Dassault Systemes strategic XCAD and Siemens JT Open technology ensures full compatibility, delivers high quality data and business benefits. The 3DXML data is a full and complete translation of the JT file, including Brep solids and surfaces, tessellated data, PMI (product manufacturing information), structure and colour which can be opened and worked up directly in CATIA V6 providing users with new methods and extends the use of 3D design data within a business enterprise and across supply chains and allows for use in CATIA V6, 3DLive, 3DVIA Composer, Delmia and Enovia.
The CATIA V6 <> JT CADverter works with Enovia V6 as standard, reflecting the CATIA V6 application processes. It can be used interactively or in batch mode depending upon a user's requirements, but unlike other Theorem CADverters, this particular product has been designed specifically to be incorporated into process-oriented operations and so is integrated and runs under the management of PLM.
The new CADverter's intuitive Graphical User Interface eliminates the need for users to remember complex syntax or undergo extensive training.
Ongoing compatibility with CATIA V6 and JT is assured through Theorem's licensing of API technology from both application sources. As a result, the new CADverter's architecture enables the translator to be employed without any need to access JT but a licensed version of the CATIA V6 application is required.
