DATA-EXCHANGE


There are various types of data provided by customers.
Receiving and providing data constitutes one of the most important processes.
CADmeister’s robust tool for data exchange DATA EXCHANGE enables users to receive data from and providing to CAD systems correctly.

 

  • Should the same CAD system be use as the one at the customer?

CAD/CAM systems have their own strong points.

Can you expect a smooth operation of CAD tasks if you purchase and use the same CAD system as your customer?

The same CAD system may be useful for facilitating the exchange of CAD data between your company and the customer.

However, if the system is only useful for designing models and suitable for architectural design, will it be enough to ensure the smooth operation of your CAD tasks?

Will the system be sufficiently capable of blending, drafting, contraction and offsetting? Further, will it be capable of 3D processing?

The priority placed on data exchange should not compromise the purpose of business.

Means should not be the end. It is not a good solution to purchase CAD systems in order to meet the requirements of every new customer.

Our recommendation is to choose the CAD system that is most suitable to the business of your company, and then choose any optional data exchange function that is responsive to your customers.

 

  • Data exchange through standard formats and direc exchange of data

Data can be exchanged directly or in the standard formats among different CAD systems.

 

Data exchanges in the standard formats

Typical intermediary formats that exchange data through standard formats are represented by IGES, JAMA, STEP, JT, STL or DXF.

 

Direct data exchange

Unique formats of individual CAD systems are utilized for data exchange. Converters are needed for converting data of each CAD system.

  • Fetures and Specification of the Capabilities of Data Exchange 

IGES,JAMA-IS

CADmeister is capable of choosing recommended parameters that are fit to the CAD system of the other party of data communications. It enables correct data exchanges.

 

DX,DWG

CADmeister is capable of choosing recommended parameters that are fit to the CAD system of the other party of data communications. It enables correct data exchanges.

 

CADCEUS

CADmeister enables a CADCEUS' CFIO file to accept the inputs of information such as placement, layer, and history.
It enables the indicated objects (parts, assemblies, sheets, views) to be output as CFIO files.
The output CFIO files contain non-parametric mode data that do not have history data.

 

STL

STL (Stereo Lithography) is a standard format for the area of laser beam lithography.
CADmeister enables solid data to be converted into STL (text/binary) format data.
The STL data is used for the commands such as explicitly describing distances among STLelements and changing the shapes of STL figures.

 

XVL

XVL (eXtensible Virtual world description Language) is a 3D data format developed by Lattice Technology Co.,Ltd. XVL Player is needed in order to confirm the files of XVL format.

 

VRML

CADmeister enables the confirmation of 3D CAD data of VRML file such as of revolution and extension through web browsers.
It is effective for meeting with customers as well as the other departments of a company.

 

STEP

VRML is a file format compliant to ISO international standards that regulate the expressions and conversions of product data.
The convertible STEP files are AP203 and AP214.
AP203 enables conversions of product data (points, lines/curves, surfaces, composite surfaces, solids, assemblies).
AP214 enables conversions of product data (points, lines/curves, surfaces, composite surfaces, solids, assemblies) and attributes of shapes (display attributes, groups, and layers).

 

CATIAv4

The standard external file format for CATIA Ver 4 is Model File (*.Model).
The CATIA Model File support versions are Ver4.2.1 through Ver4.2.5.

 

CATIAv5

The standard external file format for CATIA v 5 is CATPart file (*.CATPart).
The standard assembly file format for CATIA v 5 is CATProduct file(*. CATProduct).
The import/export support versions are R13 through to R23.
Note: The software "InterOP" provided by UEL Corporation is needed.

 

Unigraphics

Import

The UG support versions are NX1.0 through NX5.0.
The Parasolid format support versions are Ver. 7.0 through Ver. 27.0.

Export

The UG support versions are V 1.0 through NX 5.0.
The conversion format is Parasolid format Ver. 7.0.

 

SolidWorks

Import

The SolidWorks support versions are 2004 through 2009.
The Parasolid format support versions are Ver. 7.0 through Ver. 23.0.

Export

The SolidWorks support versions are 2004 through 2009.
The conversion format is Parasolid format Ver. 7.0.

 

JT

Shape data (points, lines/curves, XT B-Rep, JT B-Rep) and polygonal data (polygons, polygonal lines/curves) are converted into JT format.

 

I-DEAS

The I-DEAS Master Series support versions are Ver. 11 through Ver. 13.
The intermediate file format support versions are Ver. 1 and Ver. 2.
Note: The corresponding software products need to be installed on the side of I-DEAS.

 

Pro/ENGINEER

Pro/ENGINEER support versions are WildFire3, WildFire4, and WildFire5 (Creo Elements/Pro5.0).
The intermediate file support versions are Ver. 1 and Ver. 2.
Note: The corresponding software products need to be installed on the side of Pro/ENGINEER.

 

TDEX

This is the file format for data transfers regulated by Toyota Motor Corporation.

 

TOGO

This is the file format for the comprehensive CAD/CAM system (TOGO) developed by Toyota Motor Corporation.

 

NCVIEW

This converts into the data formats that can be handled by the machining simulation system developed by Ai solutions Co, Ltd.
