CAD-data Translators
Section 1.
Introduction to CAD DATA Translators
& supported platforms
1.1. General
The CAD-data Translators developed by BETA CAE Systems S.A. are distributed as a separate software
package that is used to convert CAD-data files into native ANSA databases. The supported CAD-data
formats handled by the CAD DATA Translators are listed below:
Source of CAD-data
File types
CATIA V4 ( All 4.xx )
[.model] and [.session]
CATIA V5 ( R7 > R20 )
Tesselated data
[.CATPart] and [.CATProduct]
[.cgr]
[.prt] and support for parasolid files
[.xmt_txt], [.xmt_bin], [.x_b] and [.x_t]
NX ( CT based, Unigraphics V11.0 - NX 7.5 )
[.prt] and support for parasolid files
[.xmt_txt], [.xmt_bin], [.x_b] and [.x_t]
NX ( UGOpen based, UG6 & UG7.5 )
JT ( v8.xx )
[.jt]
Pro/ENGINEER ( from WF 3 to WF 5 )
[.prt] and [.asm]
CAD-data translation can be achieved through command-line scripts or through a GUI that integrates the
different translators and their respective options into a single environment. Details on these are given in
later paragraphs.
1.1.1 A note on parasolid format files
Parasolid files can be translated by the NX (CT based) and the NX (UGOpen based) modes. A
"ct_parasolid_schema" has been added in order to support the translation of parasolid files by the
Unified CAD-data Translator (CT based) also. This schema is located in the config directory of your
ANSA installation. The parasolid extensions supported are [.xmt_txt], [.xmt_bin], [.x_b] and [.x_t].

1.3. Additional Requirements
Users of the CAD-data Translators should have in mind the following:
General
The presence of ANSA software is required in order to operate the CAD-data Translators. Moreover,
ANSA and the CAD-data Translators should be of the same version.
CATIA V4 / V5
The translation of CATIA V4 and CATIA V5 files does not require the presence of CATIA software.
NX (CT based)
The translation of NX files does not require the presence of UG software.
NX (UG Open based)
The translation of NX files requires a valid NX and UGOpen installation, which must be accessible by
the machine performing the translation.
Pro/ENGINEER
The translation of Pro/ENGINEER files does not require the presence of Pro/ENGINEER software.
JT
The translation of JT files on Windows systems require the run-time components of the MS Visual C++
2005 SP1 Redistributable Package, version 8.0.50727.762.
