  1. 3D InterOp

  2. { logical success = TRUE; char *InterOp; success &= Year_in_Review(InterOp); char *R15; success &= Product_Review (R15); char *Platforms, Formats, Features; success &= RoadMap(Platforms, Formats, Features); return(success); } logical agenda()

  3. Year_in_Review( Market ); • A Banner Year for InterOperability Problems • Market Growth • PLM • Grew more that 11% in 2004 • Design Centric • Grew more than 15% in 2004 • Growing List of 3D File Formats • 3D XML • JT Open • PLM XML • National Institute of Standards and Technology estimated in 1999 that interoperability problems cost the automotive supply chain alone over $1 billion per year • Imagine what that cost is today?

  4. Year_in_Review( InterOp ); • PLM Market Growth • CATIA • 33,000 new CATIA seats added in 2004 • Unigraphics • Minimal seat data available • Claims over 35% of 3D digital product data authored in UGS software • Aggressively moving I-DEAS customer base to Unigraphics • Pro/Engineer • 12% growth in total seat count • 25% growth in small and medium sized businesses

  5. Year_in_Review( InterOp ); • Design Centric Market Growth • Solidworks • Over 130,000 commercial seats • 29,882 new Solidworks seats added in 2004 • 18% growth in new seat count in 2004 • 25% growth in new seat count in Q1 2005 (vs. Q1 2004) • Autodesk Inventor • Over 140,000 commercial seats • 37,423 new Inventor seatsadded in 2004 • 50% growth in new license revenue in 2004 • All numbers include Mechanical Desktop and AutoCAD Mechanical seats as well as Inventor

  6. Year_in_Review( InterOp ); • Emerging Formats • JT • Format of choice for TeamCenter product • Over 2 million installed seats • 3D XML • DWF • PLM XML

  7. Year_in_Review( InterOp ); Solution - Spatial InterOp

  8. Product_Review( InterOp ); • Translates product structure (assembly) and part geometry • Reliable geometry based translation of points, curves, surfaces and solids (B-rep) • Automatic data healing for geometric problems such as: • Tolerance differences • 2D and 3D Curves • Surfaces • Reduces or eliminates need for model clean-up • Important non-geometric data such as layers, filters, coordinate systems, work planes, color and names also translated

  9. Product_Review( R15 ); • Standards Data Components • Generic version not available

  10. Product_Review( R15 ); • CAD Data Components • Generic version not available New New New

  11. Product_Review( R15 ); • Supported Platforms • Only 32 bit platforms supported • SGI platform eliminated from R15

  12. Product_Review( R15 ); • Model Preview • Rapidly generates HOOPS Stream Format (HSF) representation of CATIA V5 models • Very fast and compact - does not require full geometry/topology translation • Lightweight HSF models to move smoothly through concept, design, analysis, manufacturing, marketing, e-commerce, maintenance and end-of-life phases that make up the full product life-cycle. • The specification to HSF is public • A free version of the HSF read/write SDK is also available to OpenHSF members for use in their applications. • The OpenHSF Initiative is an industry-wideeffort to establish (HSF) as a common, open and rich streaming format for sharing visualization data • Membership in the OpenHSF Initiative is free and open to all interested parties.

  13. Product_Review( R15 ); • Connect Interface • Easy to use • Consistent interface for all data formats • Object oriented interface • Data translation controlled through simple options • Plug in architecture • Simply add new data component to support data format

  14. Product_Review( R15 ); • R14 (legacy) Interface • Legacy interface will be preserved for R15 • No requirement to rewrite an InterOp application • Will be replaced by Connect interface in a future release • New features/functionality will only be available through Connect.

  15. Goals • Performance • Primary goal of InterOp product line has always been to produce high fidelity, manufacturable models. • We have succeeded • Primary goal of InterOp product line for all future releases will be to produce high performance, manufacturable models • Performance tuning • Configurable healing • Memory tuning

  16. InterOp in 2004 • Quality • Exceeding 94% success rate for reading all native CAD formats • Improved handling of colors, units, progress monitoring. • Functionality • Focused on your #1 priority – updated version support • Updated version support for CATIA V4, CATIA V5, Inventor, Parasolid, Pro/Engineer, SolidWorks, and Unigraphics formats • Added support for native Pro/Engineer files • Performance • New option for improved CATIA V5 read performance • Turning off EDGE attribute processing greatly improves translation performance • Reduced file size when writing CATIA V4 files • New B-spline approximations greatly reduce file sizes

  17. Screen captures provided courtesy of CADKEY Corp.,created by Montalvo Corp. in ACIS-enabled CADKEY 3D Interoperability Strategy • Provide 3D InterOp Components that: • Enable accurate data exchangebetween native and neutral3D formats • Allow transparent direct andindirect exchange of solid,surface, and wireframe data • Eliminate the need forintermediate files • Develop partnerships to enable data exchangesolutions between proprietary solutions

  18. Benefits of 3D InterOp Translators • Quality—Assuring accurate data exchange through regular updates and quality control • Translators subject to more than 73,000 tests daily to identify areas for improvement • Most Spatial translators use manufacturer’s native libraries, no intermediate files • Functionality • Works with geometry, topology, and attribute data
