• Automatically detect non-manufacturable or costly product defects. ELYSIUM original 10 Check Items for Plastic Parts.

Undercut Area Sharp Edge Area Detection Detection Data Translation Support • Entities • CAD platforms • Neutral/Viewable – Geometry – CATIA V4 / V5 / V6 – STEP – Product Structure – NX – JT Parasolid – PMI/FTA – Creo Parametric – – ACIS – Attributes – SolidWorks – STL – Features – Inventor – OBJ – Sketches – 3D PDF – Constraints – HTML – Associative 2D – IGES Drawings PMI Translation • Translation of geometry, annotations and attributes

Full Annotated 3D Keep associativity between Drawing Translation annotation and element. Support both native PMI/FTA translation and appearance translation.

Flexible Mapping of PMI/FTA and Attribute

Enable to map specific annotation and attribute to others to recover non-supported entities at destination CAD. Map spot weld point of CATIA V5 to user attribute of specific parts of Inventor which are automatically created as spot point symbol through translation. Feature-based Translation

• Feature-based 3D data translation maintains design intent and enables modification by features.

Full Automatic Support sketch and Translation assembly constraints. Automatically extract feature tree from source CAD, map the feature tree to destination CAD, and re-build 3D model at destination CAD with the mapped feature tree. Support feature mapping capability to recover un-supported features of destination CAD. Hybrid Translation of B-Rep. Feature and Geometry 1. Translate representation of fabricated material as geometry and definition of machining feature as feature tree. Feature 2. Recover un-supported features as B-Rep translation. Validation of MBD Data • Quickly identify differences between 2 files

Reports available via XML, DiffViewer, HTML, and 3DPDF Robust Validation Solutions & Reports XML • Validate: –Translated derivative DiffViewer –Engineering changes –CAD Version upgrades HTML

• Customize reports: 3DPDF –Pass/fail criteria –Downstream usability –Multiple use cases Data Packages Geometry Simplification • Simplify for CAE, DMU, or other downstream processes Feature Recognition Recognize Remove and Simplification Automatically recognize geometric features like fillets or holes and remove them.
