Theorem Releases Plant Design to Mechanical CAD Translators

By DE Editors

Theorem Solutions has released the latest version of its CATIA V5 CADverter, developed to bridge the gap between the world of Plant Design and Mechanical CAD, resolving the issues of incompatible data formats and the ability to complete full design reviews of combined data sets when these two design paths meet.

The Microstation (DGN) to CATIA V5 CADverter has been designed to take data from Microstation into CATIA V5 and Delmia. Normally these two design disciplines are used within different areas of an organization, but when they have to share data issues can arise, including incompatible data formats.

Theorem's CADverter enables CATIA and Delmia users to take Microstation shared cell instances or reference files that are used to define product structure and create CATproducts in CATIA V5 or Delmia. Then by taking individual Microstation geometric items and creating a CATpart or CGR representation, it creates geometric representations for use in CATIA V5 or Delmia.

The Microstation to CATIA V5 CADverter enables the CATIA V5 or Delmia user to take building or plant designs from Microstation and use them with Product Data in CATIA or with Digital Manufacturing and Production definitions in Delmia.
