Theorem Solutions Releases CATIA V5 Multi-CAD Module

LOVELAND, OH : Theorem Solutions, Inc. announces the release of a new CATIA V5 Multi-CAD module that will greatly assist CATIA users. With the use of the new module, users will find that external translations are no longer required and high-quality data is assured. In addition, the new module assures users that the latest version of the imported file is always used.

CATIA V5 users working with Theorem's new Multi-CAD module can forget about translating non-CATIA parts that might be needed for their work. By simply using the CATIA command "insert existing component," the CATIA V5 user can now select and insert non-CATIA geometry including NX, Pro/E and I-DEAS, eliminating the need to carry out an external translation.

This new streamlined workflow provides the user with a much easier working environment, and the use of Dassault Systemes' development tools in the creation of this exciting interoperability development ensures that the data imported is of the highest quality.

The level of interoperability is such that the Multi-CAD module monitors parts or assemblies inserted in this way and if they change, the user is alerted and an automatic update takes place in CATIA V5. Multi-CAD for CATIA V5 provides the user with the highest possible levels of interoperability with NX, Pro/E and I-DEAS files and assemblies.

Theorem Solutions' Data Interoperability Products Save BAE Systems Time and Cost Associated With Data Migration Efforts

LOVELAND, OH : Theorem Solutions, Inc. announces that the successful implementation of a Theorem solution on the Nimrod MRA4 CAD migration project by BAE Systems has helped the company to significantly reduce IT costs associated with maintaining two CAD systems, instead of one, over the life of the aircraft and has also eliminated prohibitive costs associated with manual methods of migration.

The Nimrod MRA4 is a maritime reconnaissance and attack aircraft used for maritime reconnaissance, anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface unit warfare, and search and rescue missions. In December 1996, BAE Systems was awarded a contract to remanufacture some Nimrod MR mk2 aircraft to the new Nimrod MRA4 specification including new mission, sensor and avionics systems.

To facilitate this task, BAE Systems selected a combination of standard CADverter translators, bespoke checking software and Theorem Process Manager (TPM) to migrate the Nimrod wing design data into a single CAD system, resulting in major financial and time savings.

Faced with a possible costly manual migration and manual checking process as Nimrod data is moved from CADDS5 to CATIA V4, BAE systems implemented a comprehensive migration and automatic checking system from Theorem Solutions.

Working with Theorem, BAE Systems created a statement of work, initially implemented in a Proof of Concept phase, and then successfully further developed to a full production implementation. The outcome of less than 12 months' work is a process that runs automatically under the control of Theorem's TPM, translating batches of CADDS5 models and drawings, comparing pre and post translation models and drawings, creating reports for manual checking where required and maintaining a full audit trail throughout.

TPM was designed to automate any manual, time-intensive batch processes or Back Office activities that have historically created bottlenecks for manufacturers. TPM automates, schedules, manages and controls these processes and can be set up to process these tasks during off-hours when most computers and workstations sit idle.

Stuart Thurlby, Theorem's Managing director, said, "I have rarely seen a project implemented so effectively and providing such a clear and substantial return on investment. We are delighted to have worked with BAE Systems on this venture."
