STEP AP242 <> JT

The STEP – JT Translator

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

Theorem’s STEP to JT product is a direct converter between STEP files and Siemens JT parts. 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 using STEP who have selected JT to be their main method of collaboration and communication between OEMs and their customers or suppliers.

It is also a major method of visualization and therefore companies using JT based solutions need to translate their STEP data into the JT format.

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 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 STEP 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
