Capvidia will address the following issues:

1. Compatibility between CATIA and SolidWorks
2. IGES and STEP – Tips and Tricks for dealing with this kind of data
3. Quality – Recommendations to verify the imported data is correct. 

If you answer "yes" to any of the following questions, this would be a good meeting to attend:

• Do you need to translate native CATIA files?
• Do you translate a lot of files with SolidWorks?
• Do you import large models into SolidWorks?
• Are the translations you get from SolidWorks correct?

Exceeding D6-51991 Requirements – Helping Suppliers get the most out of their Manufacturing Process

Capvidia presents its solution on The Global Product Data Interoperability Summit 2011 held November 7-10 in Chandler, Arizona.

Boeing was one of the first manufacturers to lead the aerospace industry in defining supplier requirements for Digital Product/Model Based Definition (DPD/MBD) using their D6-51991 process. In past years, aerospace suppliers focused on the main requirement of the D6-51991 supplier quality process - Section 9.2 Data Exchange Methods - Translations throughout their manufacturing of Boeing parts. 
 

Capvidia offers an easy to use, cost effective CAD model validation software that exceeds the requirements for the Boeing D6-51991.

Capvidia Solution Provides Validation for Aerospace Supplier
Aero-Plastics, Inc in Renton, Washington is a leading supplier to the aerospace industry. They have been in business for over 50 years. They are a contract manufacturer specializing in CNC Machining and Injection Molding providing high quality, precision metallic and plastic components and assemblies. Their commitment to quality has lead to customer loyalty as well as numerous awards and certifications. In 2009 Aero-Plastics received the Supplier Excellence Award from Boeing and GE Aviation. When asked to meet Boeing D6-51991 compliance, Aero-Plastics chose Capvidia’s CompareVidia product for data translation validation.

CompareVidia allows aerospace suppliers to easily compare and validate their CAD models. You simply load the Authority File (3D model you received) and the Check File (3D model derivative resulting from your internal translation) and compare them. Results are immediately given as either Pass or Fail. The results can then be saved to a report and printed to provide a validation certificate.
