Can you ensure accurate translation of CATIA V5 data to JT or SMG formats?

Yes, you can use tools like xCompare – or other specialized translators – to ensure that the integrity of your data is maintained during the conversion process. Here’s xCompare handles V5 to JT/SMG format conversion:

• xCompare verifies the accuracy of translations from CATIA V5 to JT format by comparing geometric data, B-Rep structures, PMIs (product manufacturing information), and LODs (levels of detail). It graphically highlights any discrepancies directly within CATIA V5, ensuring no changes are introduced during translation.
• For translations to SMG (used in 3DVIA Composer), xCompare checks geometry, annotations, and attributes without requiring prior data conversion.
• For legal or archival purposes, tools like xCompare ensure that translated models remain consistent with original CATIA V5 data. This is essential for industries like automotive and aerospace where compliance is critical.
• xCompare also helps with:
  • Direct comparison: Avoids additional conversions by directly accessing native CATIA V5, JT, or SMG data.
  • Error detection: Identifies geometric and structural inconsistencies, ensuring compliance with quality standards.
  • Integrating workflows: Full integration with CATIA V5 allows for interactive or batch-mode comparisons.
