Increased support for JT Open initiative
Theorem Solutions has elevated its level of commitment to the JT Open initiative from Advocate to Vendor Member.
Theorem Solutions has elevated its level of commitment to the JT Open initiative from Advocate to Vendor Member JT Open, announced by UGS PLM Solutions in November of last year, is an initiative driven by global leaders looking for a competitive advantage through product lifecycle management that have adopted the JT data format as a standard

Software eases data management
CADverters for IsoDraw provide a highly cost-effective and easy to use method of dealing with Catia and UG NX data.
Translators boost operating speed
Theorem's new series of CADverters will typically translate data to and from PTC's Pro/E format three times faster than before.
JT is a common data format for enabling product visualisation and information sharing between PLM software applications.
The robust functionality and lightweight nature of JT technology makes it possible to view and share product data and interactive images worldwide, in real time and throughout all phases of the product lifecycle.
As early adopters of the JT format, Theorem has taken a wide range of JT translators to market.

Module eases CAD data imports
Using Theorem's new "Multi-CAD" module, Catia V5 users can simply "insert" UGNX data into the current workspace without the need to undertake an external CAD translation.
Translator simplifies collaboration
Theorem's new Universal Catia translator for UGNX users both streamlines and simplifies data translation and collaborative working under real-world conditions.
These include Catia V4 and V5, Cadds5, Inventor and Step AP203.
Theorem's JT translators are already installed in many of the world's leading design and manufacturing companies including Boeing, BMW, Renault and Ford, as well as many Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers.
In elevating their status from Advocate to Vendor Member of the JT Open initiative, Theorem plans to make use of the availability of a rapidly evolving development environment which will enable not just new Theorem JT translators, but significantly more functionality in JT translators that they have already brought to market.
The first fruits of this change will become apparent in a few months, as Theorem plans a 2004 launch of bidirectional JT translators.
Theorem President Stuart Thurlby said: "Theorem's JT translators enable users to translate whole assemblies or single components and can be integrated with design, viewing, vaulting and data management solutions.
All of these are being brought closer and closer together in today's PLM environments through initiatives such as JT Open".
He went on to add: "Membership in JT Open helps us not only to quickly develop best in class products, but also to exchange views on product direction and future requirements with other JT Open Members, including General Motors, Ford, Mazda, UGS PLM Solutions, PTC, Intel, Hewlett Packard and SAP".
"This environment is the perfect place from which to deliver more benefit to our customers by providing focused solutions to clear business requirements".
JT Open is an influential, collaborative community of users, software vendors and interested parties spanning the product lifecycle management value chain.
Through an open distribution of the JT Open Toolkit technology - under a level playing field business model - JT Open members are able to share 3D data for the purposes of visualisation, collaboration and data-sharing.
JT Open is open to any organisation that is interested in tapping into the JT pipeline.
This includes software vendors who wish to develop JT-enabled applications for sale to other member companies, as well as companies that have integrated JT into their applications or wish to make JT a standard part of their business processes.
