Theorem Solutions Offers JT to 3DXML Translator

By DE Editors

Using Theorem Solutions' (Staffordshire, UK) new JT to 3DXML translator, full compatibility and high quality data and business benefits can be ensured for Dassault Systemes’ (Paris, France) strategic XCAD and Siemens’ (Plano, TX) JT Open technology, says the release from Theorem.

The CATIA community working in a collaborative manner where JT is the data exchange format, or those where JT is used within their own company now have easy and comprehensive access to the data previously locked away in JT files. Now, the ability to work with 3DXML data (that once was JT data) — while continuing to work in their familiar Dassault Systemes application environment — will bring not just operational benefits but business benefits too. Ease of use, time saved through not having to re-work data and reduction of costs by minimizing errors are all direct benefits.

Theorem's new JT to 3DXML translator makes accurate JT data available to users of CATIA V5, 3Dlive, and 3DVia Composer. The 3DXML data is a full and complete translation of the JT file, including B-rep solids and surfaces, tessellated data, PMI (product manufacturing information), structure, and color.

Theorem customers will be immediately familiar with the interactive user interface for the translation of small numbers of files but it is likely that many organizations will benefit by running Theorem's JT to 3DXML translator via the command line interface integrated into their PLM environments.
