Theorem Solutions Opens JT to the CATIA and 3DXML Communities

LOVELAND, OH: Theorem Solutions announces the release of a new JT to 3DXML translator developed using Dassault Systemes' strategic XCAD and Siemens' JT Open technology. The new translator ensures full compatibility between the two formats and delivers high-quality data and business benefits.

The CATIA community, working in a collaborative manner where JT is the data exchange format, or those where JT is used within their own company, now have easy and comprehensive access to the data previously locked away in JT files. Users now have the ability to work with 3DXML data that once was JT data while continuing to work in their Dassault Systemes application environment, resulting in operational and business benefits. Benefits include ease of use, time saving through not having to re-work data, and reduced costs due to less errors.

Theorem's new JT to 3DXML translator makes accurate JT data available to users of CATIA V5, 3Dlive and 3DVia Composer. The 3DXML data is a full and complete translation of the JT file, including B-rep solids and surfaces, tessellated data, PMI (product manufacturing information), structure and color. It provides users with new methods and extends the use of design data within a business enterprise and across supply chains.

Theorem customers will be immediately familiar with the interactive user interface for the translation of small numbers of files, however, many organizations will gain significant benefit by running Theorem's JT to 3DXML translator via the command line interface integrated into their PLM environments.

Availability: Theorem's JT to 3DXML is available immediately. For more information please go to www.theoremsolutions.com/products/Intermediate/jt_3dxml.htm
