Pro/ENGINEER INTERFACE for CATIA II with ATB

Very Successful ImplementationBroad Entity Coverage

–including PT, PLN, AXS, CRV, SUR, FAC, SKI, SKD, SOLM & SOLE

–Higher-Order Surface definitions maintained

–Colors & Layers transferred

Assembly Support–Dittos & Sessions are supported

Filtering– No Show entities & Unused Details

No CATIA License required–Sun, SGI, AIX, HPUX UNIX + WinNT

–Import and export of all CATIA V4 versions

–Locked to Pro/ENGINEER seat

INTERFACE for CATIA II with ATB

Added Benefits of the ATB linkHeterogeneous Assemblies in Pro/ENGINEER

– Quickly identify CATIA models in session

– Use CATIA models as reference

– Create downstream deliverables based on CATIA models

• drawings, NC toolpaths, Mechanica analyses, etc,...

PerkinElmer Fluid Sciences, Beltsville, MD Ducting Tooling Process

Developed a process for bringing in native CATIA data in Pro/ENGINEER for design and detailing of ducting tooling

Brought in external CAD data in very easilyAble to maintain the assembly structure and layers and create ProE assembliesreferenced external CAD geometry to build associated tooling assemblies and associated drawings and 3D models

By maintaining proper directory structure and geometry references, changes to the original external CAD model will update in the heterogeneous assembly via the ATB.

ATB Case Study - Metso Paper, Rautpohja FoundryFinland

Business problemEliminate data conversion reworkReduce lead timeConcurrent engineering needs with CATIA customers

ATB solutionImport native CATIA models and eliminate post IGES/STEP translation modificationsReduce lead time from 6...8 weeks to 3 weeks

Products:Gray and Ductile iron castings

from 50 kg to 65 000 kg

Mikko Hinkkanen – “By importing native CATIA models we eliminated model rework and removed days from our process”
