Tebis – C atia V5: S tructured,
reliable tr ansfer of C AD data.
Tebis interfaces
Tebis CAD modules offer outstanding functions for reverse engineering,
surface design, deformation and optimization. If data needs to be delivered in
Catia V5 format, a smooth data exchange often plays an important role right
from the start when orders are awarded. The Tebis Catia V5 export interface
ensures structured, no-loss transfer of data from Tebis to Catia V5. The interface
outputs data in the Catia product/part format, which can be created in all
possible variants of Catia V5.
The Tebis Catia V5 export interface was created for all designers and CAD/CAM users who generate,
process and optimize surface data in Tebis, but must deliver the result in Catia V5 format.
This interface lets you build typical Catia typical structures quickly and easily, with an automatic
function to ensure a V5-conformant structure.
Direct data export to Catia V5
The Tebis Catia V5 export interface is intended for all Tebis
designers who create Tebis files for further processing in Catia V5.
Some typical applications include:
Reverse engineering with Tebis RSC (Rapid Surface Creation).
Creating new surfaces quickly and easily with Tebis design
functions.
Smoothing surfaces with Tebis Optimizer to obtain results
in Class A quality.
Processing surfaces for NC machining and delivering
these results.
Applying springback compensation to an existing draw die
using automatic deformation.
Using CAD functions designed exclusively for Tebis to integrate
results into a Catia V5 process.
User benefits: The direct interface transfers data exactly as it
appears in Tebis, with no difference in quality – and no need for
subsequent processing. The interface retains tangent- or curvaturecontinuous transitions and distances exactly as they’ve been
defined, transferring the segmentation of surfaces and curves
identically.
Catia V5 compliant data structure
The Catia V5 compliant part structure can be either rebuilt or
imported into a Catia V5 model for further processing. When
creating a new product/part structure, Tebis supports the user
by defining an empty V5 compliant structure. This product/part
structure is defined by layers and is easy to expand and adjust
to meet your own requirements.
If you have a product/part structure defined by filters – such as Catia V5 data imported
with the GET Catia V5 interface – you can import it in a Catia V5-compliant layer structure.
Topology are transferred as topology or solid
When transferring data into a CATPart file, faces are transferred
as faces and topologies as topologies (Catia surface). If needed,
closed topologies may also be transferred as solid. During the
transfer, all attributes (colors, names, etc.) are retained.
Automatic conformity check
With the touch of a button, you can have the built-up layer
structure restructured and the data checked for V5 compliance.
Even if your Catia V5 experience is minimal, you can depend on
the output structure being completely compatible with Catia V5.
You can export product/part nodes directly from the structure tree.
With a single mouse click you can create an empty Catia V5 compliant structure, which you can
then expand as needed.
Data export directly from the structure tree
The Tebis Catia V5 interface lets you select the data you want to
export from the structure tree. That way, part structures can also
be output as CATProduct and CATPart files.
Catia is a registered trademark of Dassault Systèmes.
The layer type can be changed to meet your requirements, such as transferring a closed topology
as a solid.
