Interface for CATIA V5Product Structure Support

Support import and export of assemblies containing mixed source components i.e. CATProduct containing

– CATProduct– CATPart– CGR

Additional support for import of assemblies containing mixed source components

– V4 *.model– Must have Interface for CATIA II license

for V4 support

Distributed Pro/BATCH SupportExport and Import TTDs for

–CATPart

–CGR


Associative Topology Bus

AssociativeOne-directional associativity: CATIA V5 to Pro/ENGINEER

Pro/ENGINEER Translated Image Model (TIM)

Contains link to Source (CATIA V5) object

TopologyMaps geometry IDs from CATIA V5 to Pro/ENGINEER

Maintains geometry IDs as changes are made

BusChecks for changes in the CATIA V5 (Source) object

Update import geometry based on changes in Source object

Change Link, Make Independent


Support for CATIA Long Names

Long Names (up to 80 characters) supportedSpecial Characters replaced

ATB Mode– in Model Tree

– without Truncation

Non-ATB Mode– Truncated in Model Tree

• With Duplicates Indexed

– Full Names Available


New in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 and PDMLink 9.1

Heterogeneous Design-In-Context (HDIC)Multi-CAD (Pro/ENGINEER, UG, CATIA V5) support in Windchill PDMLink

Represent complete mixed CAD product structure in Pro/ENGINEER and Windchill.

One WT Part – one source CAD Document – multiple image CAD Documents

Open CATIA V5 CAD Documents in Pro/ENGINEER to create ATB “image” CAD Documents. CATIA V4 supported in the context of a CATIA V5 assembly.

ATB enables: Check Status, Unlink, Re-link, and associative Updates on Pro/ENGINEER TIM (image) models

Required Components– Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 M060 or later
