Elysium Inc. Joins JT Open
Program
3D CAD Translation Firm Releases Industrys First Fully Automated System
for 3D CAD Translation, Quality Checking, and Data Repair for JT
SOUTHFIELD,
MI, April 27, 2006 - Elysium Inc., a leading global provider of
multi-CAD enabling software, has become a Vendor Member in the JT™ Open
Program, and is announcing support for the 3D JT™ data format.
The JT Open Program is a global community of leading manufacturers,
PLM vendors, and academic institutions focused on supporting and
promoting JT, a versatile 3D data format widely used throughout the
global manufacturing industry to facilitate visualization and collaboration
in the product and tool development processes.
“
JT has been widely accepted within the industry as a flexible, reliable,
and viewable format for 3D data,” said Ken Tashiro, COO and
vice president Elysium Inc. “By adding JT support to our technology,
we are able to automate the JT creation process across all major
CAD systems. That automation will provide increased value to our
customers wishing to use JT in collaborative exchanges.”
Elysium bridges gaps among CAD systems. Elysium's Suppliers Hub™ is
an automated system based on a Web server that translates CAD and
CAE data without the need for skilled operators. Before and after
translation, the Suppliers Hub checks for errors to assure that translated
data will not cause the CAD, CAM, or CAE systems that use them to
malfunction. Elysium also provides pay-per-model translation services
and sells data-exchange software that run on individual workstations:
CADporter for data translation, CADpdq™for data checking, and
CADdoctor™ for repair.
Elysium's translation technology provides the highest level of fidelity
available because it employs the application-programming interfaces
of each CAD system. Customers may choose to translate CAD model geometry,
features and parameters, assembly constraints, and/or management
information. Elysium currently partners with most leading CAD/CAM
and CAE software companies including UGS, Autodesk, CoCreate, Dassault
Systèmes, IBM Global Services, Moldflow, MSC.Software, and
PTC. Elysium is also a member of the Automotive Industry Action Group
and an Official Supplier of the Renault F1 Team.
In addition to producing models in the JT file format, Elysium lets
companies exchange parametric and non-parametric CAD models among
platforms from Autodesk (Inventor and Mechanical Desktop), Dassault
Systèmes (CATIA, SmarTeam, SolidWorks, Spatial, ACIS, and
ABAQUS), PTC (Pro/Engineer), and UGS (NX and I-deas NX Series, JT,
and Parasolid). Elysium also translates to and from the standard
IGES and STEP formats.
About JT and JT Open
The JT Open Program is
an initiative driven by leading global companies that view PLM as
a competitive advantage and have adopted the 3D JT data format. JT
is a common 3D data format for enabling product visualization and
information sharing between PLM software applications. The robust
capability and lightweight nature of JT technology make it possible
to view and share product data, manufacturing information, and interactive
images worldwide, in real-time and throughout all phases of the product
lifecycle.
Membership in JT Open is available to any and all end-user corporations,
independent software vendors (ISVs), academic institutions, and non-profit
industry organizations. Current JT Open members include the industrial
companies Caterpillar, Ford, General Motors, DaimlerChrysler, Siemens,
Renault, Visteon, Autoweb, Bowers & Wilking, DENSO, and Asahi
Electronics. Software vendors include Adobe, Actify, Altair Engineering,
Autodesk, Bentley, Elysium, Landmark, Opticore, Polyplan, Proficiency,
PTC, Realtime Technology, SGI, Theorem Solutions, Spicer, and UGS.
Academic members include Brigham Young University, Technical University
Darmstadt, Shanghai jiao Ton University, and the University of Michigan.
