Visualize 3D-CATIA V5 to Creo View Adapter: Overview and Features

Based out of Staffordshire, England, Theorem Solutions just announced the launch of Visualize 3D-CATIA V5 to Creo View Adapter, which supports CATIA V5 R26. This is version 19.3 of the Visualize 3D Adapter for CATIA V5 to Creo View users.

Overview of CATIA V5

v19.3 now supports Creo View 3.1 and CATIA V5 R18–21 through V5-6R2012–2016.

In CATIA's flexible modeling environment, a project’s design constraints and intent, as well as final model geometry, can easily be managed, along with nongeometrical design information. Downstream changes to part designs within assemblies mean that the 3D models change as well.

New Features in v19.3

The following new features have been added with v19.3:

• PDF Add-on: This useful feature requires the purchase of an optional Theorem License but allows you to save recipe file settings and job files as a 3D PDF, which can help you send out and communicate your designs in the common Adobe-invented file format.
• Advanced Publishing Add-on: This is a classic must-have if you are exporting files and want to share and show them with STEP, DWG and IGES file formats.
• New Theorem Unified Interface (UI): Support for this UI is easier now with Theorem’s Visualize 3D v19.3, which acts as a direct conversion tool between CATIA V5 to Creo View. This can be incredibly helpful in saving time processing models while ensuring that their accuracy is high.
• Integration with Windchill: v19.3 can also be integrated into PTC’s PLM software Windchill. This can be especially important if you’re designing an Internet of Things (IoT) product, but it will help to have your CATIA V5 data ready for presentation and collaboration on demand.
• Intellectual Property Protection: Proprietary design data is always in a certain amount of danger when it is sent out along the supply chain, but v19.3 of the Visualize 3D Adapter for CATIA V5 intelligence allows suppliers to access all the information they need without compromising the important parts of IP.
• Visualizing Mechanical Engineering Data: This is an important feature for sharing digital mock-ups, and desktop and mobile devices. Tantamount to best practices for communicating between personnel with vested interests in the best overall outcome in designing, engineering and manufacturing, this feature will help produce the best possible version of a product.

Theorem partners up with some software engineering heavyweights in both Dassault Systèmes and PTC for obvious reasons, like making sure that its Visualize 3D products are as uptodate as possible with the latest versions of CATIA V5 and Creo View, giving CADsters extra choices to explore.
