| In addition to its Catia V5 and UG NX, Datakit developed and proposes a new SolidWorks to Open CASCADE convertor. Datakit is a privately-owned company specialized in CAD data exchange. Headquarters are based in Lyon, France, with offices in Marseille, Carcassone and Paris. Datakit Inc is located in Santa Barbara, California and the company is opening an office in China in Guangzhou. It has been certified GOLD partner by SolidWorks Corp at the beginning of 2007. |
Overview
Provides Open CASCADE-based applications with the capability of reading and manipulating native data from SolidWorks. This SolidWorks data exchange solution works as an Open CASCADE Plug-in. It allows importing BRep data (geometrical and topological data) alone or in assemblies (defined with components as located parts). Sld.prt as well as Sld.asm files can be converted. |
Features
* Reading geometry and topology information from SolidWorks
Geometrical and topological native 99 to 2008 SolidWorks files can be converted to Open CASCADE shapes. Translation calls on the Shape Healing function to produce data which fulfil the integrity constraints that are expected when using Open CASCADE Technology. The plug-in processes SLDPRT(part) or SLDASM (assembly) files of SolidWorks. Data could be imported while using Open CASCADE function.
Assemblies defined in SolidWorks, made of components defined as located parts or other assemblies (for assemblies at several levels), are converted to compound shapes of Open CASCADE, reflecting the initial data sharing of parts. |
Benefits
This translator provides native and direct exchange of SolidWorks data with Open CASCADE-based applications and can considerably extend the scope and increase the quality and speed of translation. It meets the growing needs of interoperability between specific applications and users’ existing CAD systems
It also provides a high level of exchange quality through the use of Shape;
The interface requires no third-party license;
Codes are requested to use this technology. To get a quotation email to olivier.rigollet@datakit.com |
Configuration
The SolidWorks Plug-in is available based on Open CASCADE Technology versions 6.1 and 6.2. Respectively, this translator requires Open CADCADE Technology 6.1 or 6.2 and is available on Windows XP platforms supported for Open CASCADE Technology 6.1 or 6.2. If you wish to evaluate or get more information about these native Pro-E exchange solutions, please visit www.datakit.com for a free demo application. Please, feel free to ask any questions you may have concerning these translators. |
