CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE offers powerful functionality and a user-friendly interface, but users often require additional support when it comes to loading data from CATIA V5. That’s because the File Based Data Import (FBDI) tool streamlines the data load process, but doesn’t allow for the transfer of custom fields out of the box.

Solution

xLM Solutions has developed a new process to help you load property mappings from CATIA V5 to CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE quickly and easily. Using our tool, which leverages the FBDI tool, business logic and custom EKL code, you can map custom properties. 

Our tool eliminates the time-consuming process of recreating custom fields, ensures a positive user experience for your team and keeps your projects on track.

The applications for this tool are endless, but one common use case is for those working with Model-Based Definition (MBD). Sample attributes may include:

• Cage Code
• CM Type
• Contract Number
• Contractor

Features

The CATIA V5 to CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE Data Load With Property Mappings Tool uses custom EKL code, business logic and the out-of-the-box FBDI tool in CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE to maintain custom fields during the data load process. 

Key benefits:

• Load custom fields from CATIA V5 to CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE
• Minimize loss of data during the conversion process
• Eliminate the need for manual redevelopment of custom fields
• Leverages existing tools within CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE
• Simple deployment process
