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.
The use of Catia V5 is complemented by Webasto's product life management strategy, which is based on PTC's Windchill application, with ProductView as the company's visualisation format of choice.
The ability to bridge the mix of software vendors' products by the complete and accurate transfer of Catia V5 components, assembly data and 2D drawings into ProductView is a key requirement.
In addition, the link between the two systems must be able to provide visualisation data automatically as part of the product design release cycle.
Theorem's Catia V5 to ProductView adapter has fully met these challenges.
It not only achieves the required data translation and compatibility with Webasto's visualisation system, but also dovetails with their data management philosophy through its Windchill compliancy.
As a result, the customer has taken the decision to deploy it internationally at sites throughout Germany, France, Japan and the USA.
Commenting on the order, Theorem's General Manager, Keith Jeacock said: "Webasto has experienced the benefits of our product data translation technology - as a user of our online translation service, cadverter.com".
"Our Catia V5 to ProductView adapter is a perfect fit for their requirements, by facilitating close integration between the group's visualisation and PLM systems".
"Webasto is a world renowned supplier to automotive OEMs and the after-market sector around the world and we look forward to ensuring that its engineers achieve excellent results from this and other products that they may buy from us in the future".
