UG NX Import by Datakit

In addition to its Catia V5 / Open CASCADE component, Datakit developed and proposes a new UG NX to Open CASCADE convertor. Datakit is a privately-owned company specialized in CAD data exchange. Headquarters are based in Lyon, France, with offices in Marseilles, Carcassone and Paris. In 2006, Datakit Inc has been launched in Santa Barbara, California and the company is currently looking at a project to open an office in China.

Overview
Provides Open CASCADE-based applications with the capability of reading and manipulating native data from UG NX. This UG NX 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). PRT files can be converted.

Features
* Reading geometry and topology information from UG NX.

Geometrical and topological native UG NX5 file 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 a PRT file of NX. Data could be imported while using Open CASCADE function.
Assemblies defined in UG NX 5, 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 UG NX 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 UG NX Plug-in is based on Open CASCADE 6.1. This translator requires Open CADCADE 6.1 and is available on Windows XP platforms supported for Open CASCADE 6.1.

    If you wish to evaluate or get more information about these native UG NX 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.
