Verification of CAD Data Translation Results

Users require simple and reliable tools to verify that translated CAD models correspond to the original design. Maintaining CAD model quality through product life cycle is essential part of a company’s total quality program. This is extremely important with the growing number of CAD data conversions that need to be verified. Advanced CAD data translation involves format conversion (from original CAD format to target system CAD format) and repair & healing procedures checking data consistency and correcting incompatibilities between different CAD systems.
Both processes can be source of errors introducing changes to the original CAD models. Verifying geometry and topology definition of the translated model is essential for maintaining CAD data quality through the entire product life cycle. The issue is especially important for companies employing multi-vendor CAD/CAE/CAM strategy. Capvidia provides solutions for CAD data translation (3DTransVidia), CAD quality verification (QVidia) and CAD data validation (CompareVidia).  Read more...
