CATIA V5 Multi-CAD <> CREO

The CATIA V5 Multi-CAD Bi-directional CREO Translator

The CATIA V5 Multi-CAD to Creo Parametric (CREO) translator may be installed on a number of machines each accessing a central network floating license.

The CATIA V5 Multi-CAD to CREO Translator is a bi-directional direct database converter between the Dassault Systemes CATIA V5 Modelling Application and the CREO Modelling Application.

It enables the user to convert all forms of 3D Mechanical Design Geometry and Assembly data, together with system defined attribute information, colour information, between these two systems. This product is designed for companies who require a method of collaboration and communication between OEMs and their customers or suppliers.

The translator can be invoked in either an interactive or batch mode with the command line interface allowing the conversion process to be integrated into any process oriented operation. Alternatively the conversion process may be operated by using the Theorem Unified Interface.

Primary Product Features

  • Converts all types of geometry, wire frame, surfaces, trimmed surfaces (faces) and solid models.

  • Converts assembly structure between both systems.

  • Converts attribute data including colour and layer information.

  • Converts File Properties.

  • Integrated with the CATIA V5 installation.

  • The conversion process can be run Interactively, Batch Mode or using the new Unified Interface

  • Command line interface allows process integration into any workflow or automated process.

  • Uses the Dassault Systems CATIA V5 Multi-CAD API and the Creo Parametric API to read and write the respective data formats.

  • When writing CATIA V5 data the user is able to configure the derived geometry to be created in either VISU (CGR), VISU + Snap (CGR + Canonical data to aid positioning) or CATPart format data.

Primary Product benefits?

  • Being a direct database converter all pre and post processing is eliminated, saving time.

  • Reduce costs due to processing time and increase overall conversion success levels by filtering input data and focusing the conversion to only those elements required.

  • Reduce costs and risks associated to accessing the wrong version of data by integrating the conversion process into a related business processes.

  • With over 20 years of industrial use Theorem translation products robustness and quality is well proven, reducing your business risk.

  • This document will focus specifically on guidance for the use of the Multi-CAD for CATIA V5 – CREO product. For information regarding any of Theorem’s product ranges please contact sales@theorem.com
