Having recently covered the advantages of TransMagic EXPERT and SUPERVIEW, what can we say about TransMagic PRO, other than the fact that it includes all of the functionality of SUPERVIEW? TransMagic PRO gives you access to geometric modeling kernels such as ACIS, Parasolid and SMLib, as well as neutral CAD formats such as STEP, IGES and VDA-FS. Geometric Modeling Kernel Formats With PRO, you get the same CAD file read capabilities of SUPERVIEW (which means you can read all major CAD formats), but in addition, you can write kernel formats such as ACIS, Parasolid and SMLib (Solid Modeling Solutions) giving you access to a broader range of...

Since Geometric Modeling Kernels are a more precise format than STEP, and will often provide a superior translation, this listing will help you find which geometric modeling kernel powers the CAD application you need to communicate with. If you don’t have the ability to write the native CAD format, write to the geometric modeling kernel which powers the CAD application; geometric modeling kernels are more precisely written than neutral CAD formats, and give you the best chance of getting the cleanest, most accurate CAD geometry. For further information on when to use which CAD format (native, kernel or neutral), please see the CAD Format Ladder article....

Today, it’s a multi-CAD world, and it’s good to know the best way of dealing with every situation. Though this graphic reflects the read/write capabilities of TransMagic, the article is written for the benefit of anyone who is dealing with a multi-CAD environment and needs a multi-CAD solution, whether you have CAD translation software in addition to your CAD system or not. Go Native When Possible It’s always best to use the native CAD format when possible; if your customer is Boeing, and they are sending you CATPart and CATProduct files from CATIA, it’s helpful if you have a seat of CATIA on hand to see the files in their native...

R12 SP2 is the latest major release coming from TransMagic. Service Pack 2 gives you the power to get more done, faster; many of these enhancements began as feature requests from our customers all over the world. In the image at right, we’ve tied some of the new features to applicable job descriptions; for example, network adminstrators will like the flexibility the new Flexera licensing system gives them to keep their users running uninterrupted. Almost everyone will appreciate the updated CAD versions, which can extend what your CAD system can normally read and write, and give you access to new customers. See the video at the end of this article for a...

SUPERVIEW is the most basic of the three TransMagic core products; the other two are PRO and EXPERT. As the most basic core product, what is the SUPERVIEW Advantage? Because you’ll have more formats at your fingertips, more viewing tools, a suite of powerful translatiors to open any major 3D CAD file, take advantage of almost instantaneous repair capabilities, and enjoy a wealth of polygon output options and powerful communications options. Read More Formats + PMI SUPERVIEW allows you to read more CAD and polygonal formats, thus increasing the range of customers you can work with. Depending on which CAD system you use, you will already be able to read some CAD...
