NX <> ICEM SURF

The CATIA ICEM Surf Bi-directional NX Translator

The Translator may be installed on a number of machines each accessing a central network-floating license.

Theorem’s CADverter product for CATIA ICEM Surf to NX is a direct database converter between Dassault Systemes CATIA ICEM Surf 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.

The CATIA ICEM Surf - NX CADverter product is a bi-directional product. It can be used interactively, from the command line or in a batch mode, from a standard GUI Interface, offering combined viewing, data filtering and translation capabilities.

The CADverter directly accesses native CATIA ICEM Surf files using the Dassault Systemes supported programming interface. Structure details and geometry colour information is retained during translation.

The relevant CAD products will be referred to as Surf and NX throughout the rest of this document.

Primary Product Features

  • Converts all types of wire frame, surfaces, trimmed surfaces (faces)

  • Converts structure between the systems.

  • Converts attribute data including colour and layer information

  • The conversion process can be run Interactively or in Batch mode

  • Data can be filtered by layer and entity type

  • Geometry can be filtered and selectively processed

Primary Product benefits?

  • Direct conversion between Surf and NX reduces processing time, simplifies integration and retains accuracy of the model

  • The integrated viewing capability enables visually 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 Surf – NX product. For information regarding any of Theorem’s product ranges please contact sales@theorem.com
