Capvidia Releases CompareVidia 2010 for CAD Data Validation

LEUVEN, Belgium, Dec 17 2009 – Capvidia announces a new release of the CompareVidia 2010. The CompareVidia application for validation of 3D CAD models has been further extended with the new functions. The performance improvement gives 30% boost compared with the previous release. The floating license configuration provides a flexible solution for multi-user environment at discounted price. The new wire-frame object validation opens possibility to include in the validation process auxiliary to 3D model objects as i.e. PMI describing manufacturing or dimension tolerances.

Comparison of CAD models

The report summarizing the validation results can be read back into CompareVidia for further detailed analysis of all entities causing the validation process to fail. The idea is to run the validation once and have possibility to investigate the results later. This also has an impact on archiving the validation results. An old report can be easily retrieved and investigated in more details at any time.

The support of native CAD formats has been updated to the latest version:

CATIA 4 (*.model;*.exp) CATIA 4.1.9 – CATIA 4.2.4
CATIA 5 (*.CATPart;*.CATProduct) R2 – R19
Unigraphics (*.prt), version 11 to 18, NX to NX6
Unigraphics Assembly (*.prt), version 11 to 18, NX to NX6
ProE (*.asm;*.asm.*;*.prt.*)
Inventor (*.ipt;*.iam) (ipt - version 6-2010) (iam version 11-2010)
ACIS (*.sat;*.sab), version up to ACIS R20
STEP (*.stp;*.step)
IGES (*.igs;*.iges)
VDA-FS (*.vda)
AutoForm (*.af)
STL (*.stl)
VRML (*.wrl;*.vrml) Mesh (*.mesh)
ASC (*.asc) Parasolid (*.x_t)
SolidWorks (*.sldprt;*.sldasm)
3DTransVidia (*.xml)

CompareVidia supports now Windows 7 and is available in both 32 and -64-bit versions.

CompareVidia is being successfully used by numerous Boeing and Airbus suppliers in the US and Europe complying with the highest level of quality and validation procedures such as ISO 9002 and Boeing B6-51991, etc. for digital MDB.

Most of our customers react very positively on CompareVidia. The comment of Jorge Loutzenhiser - Quality Assurance Manager of MillworX Precision Machining, Inc. is not an exeption: "CompareVidia works like a Charm! We are very pleased with our purhase so far. Easy to learn; validation process quicker and easier than we expected."
