Interface for CATIA V5 with Associative Topology Bus™ (ATB)
June 2011Creo 1.0 - Rev H
2
Licensed module– Separately Licensed Module
• Locked (CPT-3232-L)• Floating (PTN-3232-F)
Installation– No CATIA V5 installation or
licensing required
Import and Export processor– CATProduct
• Assembly format– CATPart
• Part format– CGR
• Facet format

Entity Support– Supports 3D geometry and topology– ATB-enabled
• Config option “topobus_enable” yes | no*– Visibility support
• Show / No Show• Layers• Hidden
– Facet import/export via CGR format• Config “intf3d_in_import_as_facets” yes | no | default*
– Default value for CATIA V5 is “no”– Replaces “c5_import_as_faceted” yes | no* in
Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 (M030 and later)• Export transparency and edge color
– Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 M090 and later– Exact Rep Face Color
• Config option “c5_color_import” yes | no*– Drawings and applications data (cabling, piping, CAE data)
are NOT supported

CGR Import– Import *.CGR files (parts or assemblies)– Import CATPart and/or CATProduct as faceted (extract
CGR only)– Config “intf3d_import_as_faceted_heal” yes* | no
5 times faster than exact import!
Good for Space Claim and Design-In-Context activities
CGR Export – Export Exact data as CGR (faceted)– CATPart as CGR, CATProduct
with CGR components– Exports mixed part models
(exact and facet features) as CATProductwith separate CATPart and CGR components

Operations– Mass Properties Calculation– Measurement between Faceted & Exact– Pairs Clearance– Cross Section Creation– Datum Feature Creation
Formats– Import STL, VRML, STEP Faceted, CATIA SOLM – DXF 3D & ProductView OL/ED– CATIA CGR Design-in-Context– JT
Faceted Models for “Design-in-Context”

Product Structure Support– Support import and export of assemblies
containing mixed source components, i.e. CATProduct containing
• CATProduct• CATPart• CGR
– Additional support for import of assemblies containing mixed source components
• V4 *.model• Must have Interface for CATIA II license for V4
support
Distributed Pro/BATCH Support– Export and Import TTDs for
• CATPart• CATProduct• CGR

Associative– One-directional associativity
• CATIA V5 to Pro/ENGINEER– Creo Translated Image Model (TIM)
• Contains link to Source (CATIA V5) object
Topology– Maps geometry IDs from CATIA V5 to Creo– Maintains geometry IDs as changes are made
Bus– Checks for changes in the CATIA V5 (Source) object– Update import geometry based on changes in Source object– Change Link, Make Independent
Associative Topology Bus

Cables as geometry– Export and Import
• Intf3d_out_cables yes | no*• Facet and exact representation
Updated Facet Export Controls– New in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire
4.0 M120 and Creo Elements/Pro 5.0 M020– New Step Size
• Intf3d_out_use_step_size yes | no*• Defines uniform size for triangles
– Chord Height and Step Size calculated per part• Intf3d_out_diff_chord_heights yes | no*• Intf3d_out_diff_step_sizes yes | no*• Facet assembly formats only: CATProduct with CGR, JT

Long Names (up to 80 characters) supported– Special Characters replaced
– ATB Mode• in Model Tree• without Truncation
– Non-ATB Mode• Truncated in Model Tree
– With Duplicates Indexed• Full Names Available

Heterogeneous Design-In-Context (HDIC)– Multi-CAD (Pro/ENGINEER, UG, CATIA V5) support in Windchill PDMLink
• Represent complete mixed CAD product structure in Pro/ENGINEER and Windchill.– One WT Part – one source CAD Document – multiple image CAD Documents
• Open CATIA V5 CAD Documents in Pro/ENGINEER to create ATB “image” CAD Documents.– CATIA V4 supported in the context of a CATIA V5 assembly.
– ATB enables: Check Status, Unlink, Re-link, and Associative Updates on Pro/ENGINEER TIM (image) models
– Required Components• Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 M060 or later• CATIA V5 R16 (R17 supported in M080 or later)• Windchill Workgroup Manager for CATIA V5• PDMLink 9.1 F000 or later

Shared Memory– Limited to GPI-based processors
• CATIA V5, CGR, JT, ProductView, UG, Autodesk Inventor, and CADDS5
– Introduced in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 (M080)
– Benefits• Reduced processing time• Reduced memory (RAM) usage

Allow users to choose the amount of data to import
– Leverage layers, the search tool, and rules to improve the selection process
Three levels of data– Structure
• Fastest to load, no graphics– Graphics
• Quick to load, lightweight graphics• Meta data
– Master• Full geometric definition
