CATIA V5i <> NX

The CATIA V5i Bi-directional NX CADverter

The CATIA V5i to NX CADverter is a direct database converter between CATIA V5 and NX. 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.

CADverter can be purchased as a uni-directional, CATIA V5 to NX, or NX to CATIA V5 product, or as a bi- directional product.

The translator can be invoked 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

  • CADverter converts all geometry

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

  • The user can filter data to optimize the process

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

  • In addition CADverter will work with other Theorem products including Data Exchange Navigator

  • 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 NX 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 CADverter for CATIA V5i to NX product. For information regarding any of Theorem’s product ranges please contact sales@theorem.com
