Proficiency automates the complete conversion of the design intelligence of a model between major CAD systems. Geometry, features and construction tree, sketches, constraints, manufacturing information, metadata, parameters, assembly information, and drawings are design elements that will be transparently transferred between CAD systems.Migrate CAD models easily and faster

Migrate design intent easily and quickly

Proficiency provides source data audit and complete exchange reports, including a feature map and geometric feature validation. In addition, Proficiency compares the geometries of the source and target model (using point cloud technology) and repairs the geometry (with the CADfix integration).

With Proficiency, design teams can easily understand issues related to modeling practices, such as which techniques and features are most or least portable, robust or standard. And with this knowledge, you can leverage the full power of your CAD tool without generating models limited by the specifics of one particular system or representation.

Proficiency is a scalable and highly customizable solution. This software can be integrated with a PLM system or integrated into an automation solution. To improve automated results, Proficiency provides completion wizard for 3D and 2D, for some CAD systems.

Proficiency efficiently converts CAD models without loss of intelligence or information. The automatic conversion process fully preserves the design intent. More importantly, it adds value by removing old issues from the original model or substituting them with more appropriate techniques. The result is a reliable basis for further development quickly migrated to the new CAD system at a competitive cost.

Proficiency provide a large range of functionality to control usage:

Proficiency provide a large range of functionality to optimize CAD Data exchange for BREP or feature translation:

The Completion Wizard plugin is embedded in the target CAD system, helping designer to adapt design intent in the target CAD system and thus eliminate the unavoidable conflicts between the two CAD systems. This semi-automatic process greatly accelerates the removal of the residual defects which can not be solved by an automatic process. It builds on the remastering information created during the automatic process that is stored in the UPR file:

• Features parameters from the source CAD system (tree position, type, settings, values, ...)
• The origine of the failure (incompatibility, deviation, ...)
• References (planes, sketches, ...)
• The substitute BREP geometry
• The cloud of points for validation

Proficiency also supports the migration of native associative drawings. The translation of associative drawings allows for the migration of linked 2D and 3D data in one automated procedure.

Supported CAD systems include:

• CATIA V4 (from)
• Inventor (from)
• Solid Edge (from)
• SolidWorks (from)
• CATIA V5 (from and to)
• NX (from and to)
• Creo (to)
