» CATIA V5 To SolidWorks Features

BG

  • Ready for SolidWorks 2009
  • Support for CATIA V5 R18
  • Support for CATIA V5 R17
  • Ready for SolidWorks 2008
  • More geometry type are transfered native to native. Torus,Offset surfaces, Draft and more.
  • Optimized support of CATProduct. Assemblies larger than 500 megs and 2000 parts have been tested.
  • Use of SolidWorks API so that Draft, Pipes, Offset faces are recognized as such.
    This increases the quality but also the usability.
  • Support for CATIA V5 R16
  • Ready for SolidWorks 2006
  • TrackFace supports a list of faces or selections
  • Filters on models, filename cane be define with the REGEX syntax. This very powerfull syntax widely used in the Unix world allow very precise filters. To activate this feature set UseRegEx=true where the patterns are defined. This will apply to both Patterns and ExcludedPatterns
  • Batch Translation is available to automate CATIAV5ToSolidWorks translations. Download the batch translator and follow installation guidelines.
  • More CATIA entities are supported.
  • Ready for SolidWorks 2005
  • New enhanced licensing system. We improved the system to support software locks, temporary licences and easier registration. The version requires a new unlock code. If you are under maintenance you should request it at support@radialsoft.com.
  • Cancellation during the translation of the CATIA file is possible.
  • Simplification of the registration with one single dialog.
  • Improvement of the progress dialog.
  • Improved handling of errors and exceptions.
  • Does not require a CATIAV5 License.
  • Online help available from inside SolidWorks.
  • Protection scheme based on Ethernet board Mac Address, CAD Software SerialNumber or programmatic dongle.
  • Easy and safe installation procedure based on self-extracting file.
  • All the options for CATIAV5ToSolidWorks can be set using a Property page. It is available at Tools/Options/Third Party.
  • During the reading of assemblies, the current component is closed before starting the conversion of the next component so that only the top-level assembly is open at the end of the conversion. This reduces memory usage and increase reliability.
  • Parts are shared in assemblies when shared in CATIAV5.
  • Assemblies are translated as SolidWorks assemblies and the components are located as defined in CATIA even if the transformation used in CATIA is a mirror.
  • Powered by the RadialSoft OLEDM BREP engine RSGTModel, CATIAV5ToSolidWorks repairs and adjusts CATIAV5 geometry to obtain a useable and well-defined SolidWorks parts (Imported Solids).
  • Support for multiples configurations for Options setting corresponding to your various types of CATIAV5 parts.
    Various options let you decide what kind of entities are to be translated, in particular, hidden entities, isolated surfaces or MockUp Solids.The CATIAV5ToSolidWorks options settings are improved. Multiple configurations corresponding to each CATIA part type can be defined.
  • Increased compatibility with FeatureWorks.
  • Support the CATIA ID for all the CATIA entities. This gives you the history of entities inside SolidWorks. For example this lets you know that this SolidWorks face is coming from the CATIA entity of given ID.
  • Reading of Lines, Circles, Planes, Cylinders and Cones without any conversion.The performances of SolidWorks are improved with that kind of models. Also you can ask for the axis and other measures on the part.
  • Only the top-level assembly is open at the end of the conversion.
  • Read CATIAV5 files with extension CATPart
