“We're pleased to extend our relationship with Dassault Systèmes, enabling us to combine Proficiency's technology with the strength of CATIA," said Alex Shapira, CEO of Proficiency. ”This will be very beneficial to all the customers, who are trying to avoid the overhead and complexities of an in-house CAD migration process, and looking for the most cost-effective, reliable and secure migration process for models to the CATIA environment.”
The Factory has very high volume capacity to extract diverse CAD from any PDM source, convert it to CATIA and then delivered back to the customer. As a value-add service, the solution integrates CATIA and customer methods into the conversion process, resulting in data that is highly re-usable and captures customer best practices.
As compared to data re-mastering solutions, the Data Migration Factory maintains all geometry, features, sketches, manufacturing info, metadata, assembly information and associative drawings in the conversion process. Additionally, this new solution is scalable, flexible and affordable as the total cost is based upon an on-demand data size. The Factory also has lines to accommodate simpler conversion streams such as geometry-only conversion (B-Rep).
“We are focused on developing solutions that enable collaboration among OEMs and their constituents,” said Evans Routsis, director, Automotive Practices, Dassault Systèmes. “This new translation capability coupled with real world methods enables the customers to migrate and re-use intellectual property more efficiently. Additionally, they can achieve significantly higher quality, turnaround time and intellectual property protection by keeping the data migration onshore.”
