ITI TranscenData Ships Proficiency Collaboration Gateway 8.1
 MILFORD,
OH, Oct 30, 2009 – ITI TranscenData announced today the release of
Proficiency Collaboration Gateway 8.1, the latest edition of its leading
Feature Based CAD Interoperability solution for manufacturers and their
suppliers. Collaboration Gateway enables the transfer of complete design
intelligence between major CAD systems which includes geometry, features,
sketches, manufacturing info, metadata, assembly information and drawings in
the conversion process.
Collaboration Gateway 8.1 features an enhanced, state-of-the-art
Completion Wizard, which operates as a plug-in and tracks and validates any
manual changes that a user makes involving portions of the model that could
not be automatically exchanged due to CAD incompatibility differences. From
within the CAD system they are using, the user is presented with detailed
information about pending issues, and presented options as how to
successfully complete the model. Once an option is selected the model is
automatically updated and all changes are documented.
Highlights of the new release include:
- 3D Completion Wizard for NX - Allows easy completion of exchanged
models
- 2D Wizard for CATIA V5 - Allows for easy correction of converted
drawings
- Faster Geometry Engine - Dramatically improves the quality of
results for Pro/E to NX, CATIA V4 to V5 and CATIA V5 to V5
The new version includes many other automatic data exchange feature
support enhancements for I-deas, NX, Pro/E and CATIA V5 as well as more
robust Collaboration Gateway Server architecture. Additional enhancements
include:
- Support for Pro/E Wildfire 4, CATIA V5 R19 and NX 6
- Collaboration Gateway Agent grouping for optimized file transfer and
load balancing
- 3D Text exchange from Pro/E to CATIA V5
- Tri-Tangent Fillet feature export from CATIA V5
- Thick Surface feature export from CATIA V5
- Closed Quilt exchange from Pro/E to NX and CATIA V5
- Dynamic Extrude feature import to NX
- Improved Variable Round export from Pro/E and CATIA V5
- Support for I-deas models with regeneration problems and
non-manifold geometry
- Support for extremely large model exchange from Pro/E to NX
- Improved exchange from higher to lower CATIA V5 Release
"Proficiency offers manufacturers a complete solution for conversions
when delivering to an OEM/partner in their required CAD format or migrations
to a new CAD system. Alternative approaches of manual re-mastering have
proven to be inefficient, costly and risky as our growing customer base
demonstrates," said Alex Tsechansky, General Manager of ITI Proficiency,
Ltd. "The new capabilities in this most recent release and our new
Completion Wizard product have been proven in production with leading
customers to effectively handle the most complex real-life challenges
encountered by their engineering teams," added Tsechansky.
Availability
The new product release is available immediately worldwide and current
customers can easily upgrade to version 8.1. As part of this release, a new
upgrade mechanism has been added for updating to future releases.
About Proficiency
The Proficiency technology was acquired by ITI TranscenData in July of
2009. Proficiency was originally introduced to the global market in 1998.
Proficiency provides field-proven bi-directional product knowledge migration
capabilities between all high-end CAD platforms: Pro/Engineer, I-deas, NX,
CATIA V4 and V5.
Global enterprises in the automotive, aerospace & defense, and heavy
machinery industries such as Daimler, Ford, Boeing, EADS, and Siemens use
Proficiency in their heterogeneous PLM and multi-CAD environments to ensure
effective product knowledge integration during design and manufacturing
processes. The solution significantly reduces cost, risks, and errors while
improving profitability by shortening delivery times, promoting re-use and
protecting intellectual property (IP) assets during collaboration.
