TransMagic Showcases Customer Success at SolidWorks World 2012
TransMagic, Inc. announced that it is showcasing its Gold Partner Product, TransMagic PowerPack, at the SolidWorks World 2012 Certified Partner Theater. The presentation focuses on their joint TransMagic/SolidWorks customer, TeraFlex Suspensions, and demonstrates how TeraFlex uses TransMagic to achieve high quality solid models from non-native OEM CAD data. Visit Booth #708 to learn more about how TransMagic products fuel production efficiency for TeraFlex and help them maximize market opportunities.
In the process of designing and manufacturing rugged off-road automotive aftermarket components, TeraFlex experienced problems using native OEM CAD data that caused many hours of work-arounds. At TeraFlex, TransMagic has become an essential business tool for success. “Before we found TransMagic, we could not import Catia files into SolidWorks,” states Bryce Calvin, Engineering Manager of TeraFlex. “Using IGES as an intermediary file format used to introduce many time-consuming complications. With TransMagic, rather than dealing with ugly surface models, we bring CATIA files straight into SolidWorks as SOLID models. Exporting the parts we need saves us hours in processing time,” describes Calvin. “Now we are able to take control of the file conversion process and maintain the complete assembly structure. Isolating the parts that we need for the design is easy!”
The TransMagic PowerPack for SolidWorks combines the design power of SolidWorks software with the multi-CAD freedom of TransMagic to unleash true design freedom. Opening CATIA V5, NX or JT or any major 3D file format into any other software is a breeze with TransMagic. TransMagic converts 3D CAD data into a variety of formats and repairs the issues caused by the way different software applications interpret geometry. This process eliminates hours of manual rework, or remodeling that is otherwise required to create usable solid models, thus reducing the barriers created by model incompatibilities.
On one hand, TransMagic supports high quality model translation, visualization, repair and collaboration. On the flipside of the tool, TransMagic enables complete automation and rapid integration into PLM systems to transform difficult internal processes using automatic unattended features. Create a 2D image library of all your CAD data to add to your database for faster visual searches and other downstream usage such as data archival, file validation and more.
Supported Formats:
TransMagic reads and converts all major CAD files into multiple formats as high quality models usable in any 3D software including CATIA, SolidWorks, JT, UG/NX, Inventor, Pro/E, and many more. TransMagic also exports files into several non-CAD formats such as STL, OBJ, PLY, HSF, PDF and 3D HTML.
