CAD Migrations
PDM & PLM migrations offer a unique opportunity to migrate CAD systems as well. This is especially appealing when the target PDM / PLM system does not provide a good integration with the source CAD system or when the source CAD system is being phased out..
Solution
We partner with Translation Technologies to provide world-class feature based translations, B-REP translations, and point-cloud model accuracy verification.
Approach
With feature based translations the history tree remains intact and available for feature modifications. With B-REP translations the history tree is collapsed to a single feature – the model. TTI also has the unique capability of analyzing translated or re-mastered models for equivalency to the original model. This analysis is far more accurate than just relying on Mass Properties. The customer can request an analysis tolerance and resolution.
