CATIA V5 Import for SolidWorks - CATIA V5 file import add-in for SolidWorks
CATIA V5 Import for SolidWorks is a CATIA V5 file import add-in for SolidWorks. This add-in gives SolidWorks the ability to import 3D data from CATIA V5 part, assembly and graphics files.
CATIA V5 Import for SolidWorks creates true 3D solids in SolidWorks which can then be edited using SolidWorks’ solid modeling tools just like any other 3D solid. This add-in does not need CATIA V5 to be installed on the computer or on the network.
CATIA V5 Import for SolidWorks is powered by the widely used 3D InterOp technology from Spatial. 3D InterOp is the industry standard for proprietary CAD file format data exchange and is used in almost all the major CAD systems. Besides data exchange 3D InterOp also offers powerful repairing and healing features which are extensively used in CATIA V5 Import for SolidWorks. Repairing involves checking the file for corrupted data and fixing the invalid data. Healing corrects the differences in precision. CATIA V5 Import for SolidWorks also creates a detailed log file which is extremely useful in identifying data translation problems and aids in locating and fixing errors.
CATIA V5 Import for SolidWorks can import CATIA V5 .CATPart, .CATProduct and .cgr files from CATIA V5 R2 to CATIA V5 R19. It uses authentic libraries from Dassault Systems to read CATIA V5 files.
CATIA V5 Import for SolidWorks is designed to work with the following versions of SolidWorks:
- SolidWorks 2010 (32 & 64 Bit)
- SolidWorks 2009 (32 & 64 Bit)
- SolidWorks 2008 (32 & 64 Bit)
- SolidWorks 2007
- SolidWorks 2006
- SolidWorks 2005
- SolidWorks 2004
- SolidWorks 2003
- SolidWorks 2001 Plus
