Requirements and workflows for CAD packages

Review the requirements and data transfer workflows.

Pro/ENGINEER

PTC Granite, IGES or STEP file formats can be used to transfer StudioTools models to or from Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire.

CATIA V4

StudioTools CATV4 DirectConnect is a stand-alone utility that allows the exchange of 3D model data between StudioTools and CATIA using the CATIA/StudioTools neutral format CAI.

CATIA V5

StudioTools CATIA V5 DirectConnect is a stand-alone utility that allows the exchange of 3D model data between StudioTools and CATIA V5 using the native CATIA part (.CATPart) and product (.CATProduct) documents. Please follow installation instructions provided in the README.txt file.

I-deas NX series

You can intergrate StudioTools models into I-deas NX (UGS PLM solutions). Often the workflow will require that the designer send geometry over to the engineer using a CAD system. The CAD operator will then use the model to describe a solid part and perform other engineering process such as describing ribs, bosses and other mechanical details.

Unigraphics

StudioTools Unigraphics DirectConnect is a stand-alone utility that allows the exchange of 3D model data between StudioTools and Unigraphics.

Solid Imaging

Solid Imaging is a component of Rapid Prototyping which uses a database to translate three-dimensional geometry into physical models or parts using a variety of resins and other materials. The file formats used by StudioTools to output files for Rapid Prototyping are the STL and SLC.

SAT ACIS

Save ACIS Text (SAT) allows you to import and export ACIS options of curves, surfaces, and shells data from and to Spatial's ACIS 3D toolkit SAT format.
