The release of Theorem Solutions' V19.3 CATIA V5 to JT Visualise 3D product has been announced. V19.3 supports CATIA V5 R19, R21 and CATIA V5-6R2012 to CATIA V5-6R2016, as well as all versions of JT, up to and including JT file format version 10.0. Theorem’s Visualise 3D products are aimed at creating visualisation data for users of digital mock-up, virtual reality or desktop applications.

This uni-directional product can be packaged with our JT to CATIA V5 product to create a bi-directional translator.

V19.3 enables the CATIA V5 user to create a JT representation of their data and supports the translation of assembly structure, geometry, attributes, 3D Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) (FTA) (GD&T) and Metadata between mechanical CAD/CAM systems, and in doing so facilitates Model Based Definition (MBD) processes.

Using JT documents with additional 3D PMI data as part of a MBD process allows the user to reduce the overall design costs associated with the creation of conventional 2D drawings.

Sharing CATIA V5 data using the neutral ISO standard JT format allows organisations to protect the intellectual property of their designs while allowing users to explore the shape to more easily understand the 3D definition. The IP protection can be enhanced by restricting the JT representation to be tessellated data only.

Theorem’s strategic partnerships with Dassault Systemes and Siemens ensures that there is parallel development between the latest releases of CATIA V5 and JT, and Theorem’s Visualise 3D products, allowing Theorem to continue to provide data solutions for CATIA V5 users wanting to create JT data.
