When to Use Feature Based Translations There are many reasons companies consider a feature based translation strategy.

Further, it can translate models that might not even lend themselves to manual remaster in another CAD system. This process mirrors the actual design process CAD designers use every day (resolve or massage features into the design that the CAD system struggles to resolve by itself).

This unique combination of software and operators produces results similar to manual remastering of CAD models in a fraction of the time it would take to complete manually. This ensures that the feature tree is always complete and updates without error in the new CAD system. Acc-u-Trans is the only feature based CAD translation tool that allows an operator through a translation interrupt process to resolve these differences during the translation. Once the issue is resolved the system continues the creation process. If the target CAD system needs assistance with any feature (either because the feature type does not exist in the target system or the target system cannot resolve the geometry being delivered to it) Acc-u-Trans goes through its patent pending Interrupt process. 2D drawing using Pro/E 3D Model using Pro/E 3Ĥ Acc-u-Trans - Feature Based Part Translation Acc-u-Trans literally build the model feature by feature right in the target CAD system. All data is associative and interchangeable between the CAD, CAE and CAM modules without conversion. The models consist of 2D and 3D solid model data which can also be used downstream in finite element analysis, rapid prototyping, tooling design, and CNC manufacturing. There are three basic Pro/ENGINEER design steps from conception to completion: Part creation Assembly creation Drawing creation We can use Pro/ENGINEER to create a complete 3D digital model of the products. PTC was the first to market parametric, featurebased, associative solid modeling software. PRO/ENGINEER Pro/ENGINEER is a parametric, integrated 3D CAD/CAM/CAE solution created by Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC). Package the model & drawing & upload to the customer data base. Any deviation in the Quality check, rework to achieve the specified requirement. Perform the Quality check for both 3D model & 2D drawing. Other method would be to overlay 2D drawings from source & target software. Verify the 3D data from source to target software with different method like import IGES / STEP in the target software & compare the models for deviation. Create 2D drawings from the generated 3D model as per the Input drawings from Source software. Else IGES / STEP will be used to create parametric model for the models with surfaces.

IGES / PDF / DWG drawings will be input for creating parametric 3D model in Target software for models with definite dimension using manual method. Create IGES / STEP for 3Dmodel & IGES / PDF / DWG format for drawing from source software.
Understand the limitation & standards for the data to be converted. Process considered for the conversion of data from IDEAS (Source) to Pro/E (Target). 2ģ Legacy Data Conversion Manual Process Identify the data to be converted from one CAD platform to other CAD platform.

Many manufacturers, both large and small, use multiple 2D and 3D CAD systems & upgrading to the newer technology Data migration is most indispensable to use the archive or legacy data for their new product development. Data migration is a process of translating 3D models & 2D drawings from one CAD system to another CAD system which lets users create, view and modify assemblies built with components created in different CAD systems.
A legacy system may include procedures or terminology which are no longer relevant in the current context, and may hinder or confuse understanding of the methods or technologies used. W H I T E P A P E R SĢ Over view A legacy system is an old method, technology, computer system, or application program that continues to be used, typically because it still functions for the users' needs, even though newer technology or more efficient methods of performing a task are now available. Whatever the field or application, an engineer solves problems with imagination, creativity and synthesis of various sources of knowledge. 1 LEGACY MIGRATION WITH AUTOMATION USING ACC-U-TRANS AND LDA TOOLS Engineering is the conceptualization, design, construction, and administration of projects and products.
