The CATIA V5i Bi-directional JT Translator

The CATIA V5i to JT Translator is a direct database converter between CATIA V5 and JT. It enables the user to convert all forms of mechanical design geometry, as well as assembly and attribute information, between these two systems without requiring access to a CATIA V5 license.

The Translator can be purchased as a uni-directional, CATIA V5 to JT, or JT to CATIA V5 product, or as a bi- directional product.

It is possible to invoke the translator in 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.

• If assembly data (product structure) is in the file, the assembly structure will be mapped between the two systems as well as colour information

• Converts attribute data including colour and layer information.

• The user can filter data to optimize the process.

• Uses the Spatial CGM API and Siemens JTOpen API to read and write data.

• In creating JT files a number of data types can be generated. A facetted representation, a JT Brep definition, or an XT Brep definition. As standard a facetted representation is created with the user selecting whether JT or XT Brep definition is created.

• If you wish to visualise and interrogate the CATIA V5 or JT data this can be done by using the integrated User Interface, which is included with the translator.

• There is no dependency on a CATIA V5 installation or application license.

• The conversion process can be in Batch Mode or using the Unified Interface.

• Command line interface allows process integration.

Primary Product Benefits

• Direct conversion between CATIA V5 and JT reduces processing time, simplifies integration and retains accuracy of the model

• The integrated viewing capability enables visual verification, pre and post translation

• The integrated data filtering options allows selected data ONLY to be processed, enabling optimisation of translations and time savings

• By converting all forms of geometry no data is lost, eliminating the time required to recreate missing data

• With over 20 years industrial use Theorem’s product robustness and quality is well proven, reducing your business risk

• This document will focus specifically on guidance for the use of the translator for CATIA V5i to JT product. For information regarding any of Theorem’s product ranges please contact sales@theorem.com
