Latest Visualize 3D-CATIA V5 to Creo View translator supporting CATIA V5 R25 and 3D PDF Publishing

We are pleased to announce the release of their latest V19.2 Visualize 3D for CATIA V5 to Creo View users.

V19.2 now supports up to and including CATIA V5 R18-21, V5-6R2012-2015 and Creo View 3.1, and has an additional add-on module available to create interactive 3D PDF documentation from visualization data.

Some of the latest features and enhancements new to V19.2 include:

• 3D PDF Add on- the ability to save as a 3D PDF from either a recipe file setting or a job file has been added (requires an optional Theorem License.)
• Support for the new Theorem Unified Interface (UI).

With the addition of the 3D PDF add-on module users are now able to publish their visualization data directly to an interactive 3D PDF document for use in downstream processes so that CAD and visualization data can now be made accessible beyond the realms of just the Engineering department.

Using Theorem’s Visualize 3D V19.2 as a direct conversion tool between CATIA V5 to Creo View reduces processing time, simplifies integration and retains accuracy of the model.

The CATIA V5 to Creo View suite helps to secure your Intellectual Property, but at the same time supports a rich enough set of design data intelligence so that suppliers have all of the information required to complete their job.

Our Visualize 3D brand supports lightweight data formats with a product focus specifically on the direct translation of 3D CAD data from mechanical CAD systems for the purpose of Visualization, enabling users to work with and share data directly between different CAD and Visualization applications and are aimed at creating visualization data for users of digital mock-up, virtual reality or desktop applications.

With over 20 years industrial use, Theorem’s product robustness and quality is well proven, reducing costs and risks associated to accessing the wrong version of data by integrating the publishing process into all related business processes.

Latest Publish 3D-3D PDF offers greater levels of IP protection for users

Our latest release (V19) of Publish 3D – 3D PDF for CATIA V5, NX, Creo and JT users , supporting CATIA V5 (R19-21, V5-V6R2012-2015), NX (8.5, 9.0, 10.0), Creo (2.0, 3.0) and all JT versions, is now available.

Our Publish 3D suite of products enable the publishing of 3D CAD data directly from within the CATIA V5, NX and Creo design applications in to the interactive 3D PDF document format.

The published PDF document contains embedded interactive 3D representations of the native CAD data (within pre-defined templates), offering greater levels of Intellectual Property (IP) protection and this latest version has the added IP protection feature with support for separate passwords to control the editing of the 3D PDF output.

The inclusion of a new Unified Interface (UI) in V19 provides the opportunity for multiple PDF publishing from a single data source using the selection of ready-made templates, or the option of Theorem consultancy services to create bespoke templates.  Our new UI helps the development and streamlining of translation and downstream processes by allowing engineering data to be filtered, viewed, interrogated, manipulated and translated interactively or in batches with the ability to publish user specific documentation

The Publish 3D product supports Model Based Definition (MBD) and 3D annotations and dimensions (PMI) from CATIA V5, NX, Creo and JT into the 3D PDF format.

Anybody with access to the freely available Adobe Reader®, either on a PC, tablet or smartphone can access the interactive 3D data and are able to view, mark up and interrogate the document without the use of specialist CAD software, and as 3D PDF is an ISO standard (ISO 24517-1 (PDF/E), the technology can be easily integrated and can effectively become the common denominator for document creation and communication.

To find out more about 3D PDF, please watch our 3 minute ‘What is 3D PDF?’ overview video: http://www.theorem.com/3dpdf/what-is-a-3d-pdf.htm

The simplicity of 3D PDF, low cost, and ease of use allows for the integration of departments, customers and suppliers into the product lifecycle process which in turn leads to reduced lead times, fewer mistakes and better products.

Our 3D PDF and Multi-CAD products were in action at COE 2016

This year’s COE Annual PLM Experience and TechniFair ran from April 10^th– 13^th in San Antonio, Texas, USA and Theorem Solutions sent a team to showcase our latest CATIA productivity enhancing solutions.

We were demonstrating our latest versions of, 3D PDF for CATIA V5, Multi-CAD for CATIA V5 and 3DEXPERIENCE users as well as showcasing CAD and Visualization solutions for CATIA users needing to work with JT, NX and Creo data.

On show were our Publish 3D suite of products, our 3D PDF Publishing solutions for the CATIA V5 user.

Imagine being able to create documents containing an interactive 3D model and being able to share that as a PDF with anyone in the world. Come and see for yourself how PDF’s with 3D content are revolutionising document creation, knowledge sharing and collaboration inside organisations and up and down the supply chain.

Multi-CAD was also in action. This amazing plugin allows you to insert JT, NX and Creo files, into your CATIA session, and work on them, whilst maintaining associativity in CATIA back to the original JT, NX and Creo formats.

Theorem’s Visualize 3D product for CATIA users was also on display.

The Visualize 3D products support lightweight data formats such as 3DXML, JT and Creo View, focusing specifically on the direct translation of 3D CAD data from mechanical CAD systems for the purpose of Visualization which enables users to work with and share data directly between different CAD and Visualization applications.

Theorem were at ProSTEP iViP Symposium

This year’s ProSTEP iViP Symposium was held in Stuttgart, Germany on 20^th– 21^st April 2016. The team from Theorem Solutions were there to showcase our latest PLM productivity enhancing solutions.

We were demonstrating our 3D DPF product suite, which is for the creation of documents for distribution that contain interactive 3D content. It is a publishing solution for organisations who design with mechanical CAD or who want to extend the use of their visualization data to create interactive 3D documentation.

Our 3D PDF suite allows those using CAD or Visualization formats, including CATIA V5, NX, Creo Parametric, JT and 3DEXPERIENCE, to embed their 3D geometry from one of these formats into a PDF file, to create a fully interactive 3D PDF document that can be accessed by anybody with Adobe Reader.

The use of 3D PDF means that anybody can now consume, view and mark-up 3D data contained within a document format, eliminating the need to install specialist viewing software or to be trained to use specialist tools.

Our CATIA V5 Multi-CAD for JT solution were also on show.

Multi-CAD focuses on enabling CATIA V5 or 3DEXPERIENCE users to work with source mechanical CAD or visualization data, such as JT data, inside of CATIA without the need for external translation.

Theorem’s Multi-CAD application validates the integrity of the data as it comes into the design application whilst keeping an associative link back to the native source data. Using Multi-CAD offers a greater level of security and protection as the link to the source data is a direct link without the need to leave the application or use 3rd party external applications. This also removes any errors that can occur from potentially working with old, out of date data.

Theorem’s Multi-CAD application system is a low cost and efficient solution to the problems that can be encountered when a CATIA user needs to work on projects where other CAD or Visualization data needs to be regularly worked on inside of CATIA.

Both 3D PDF and Multi-CAD products support the introduction of assembly structure, geometry, attributes, 3D Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) and Metadata from native CAD and Visualization data with additional support for the processing of Model Based Definition (MBD) information from native CAD.

Theorem were also available to offer expert advice on our range of CAD, Visualization and STEP translators as well as data solutions including CAD and PLM migration, Data Exchange Automation and Long Term Data Archiving Solutions.

Theorem believe that there is no one single solution for collaboration. The right solution is determined by the individual use case and not by a particular format.
