Theorem Multi-CAD module and Process Manager (TPM) demonstration at Las Vegas PLM conference
Theorem Solutions will be showcasing two new products for the CATIA community on booth 418 at the COE 2007 Annual PLM Conference and Technifair in Las Vegas Theorem's recently-launched Multi-CAD module and Theorem Process Manager (TPM) will form the centrepiece of the company's presentation at the event, which takes place 30 April-2 May and brings together users of Dassault Systemes software throughout the aerospace, automotive, defence, consumer goods, shipbuilding, industrial machinery, electronic and plant design industries

Latest translators keep pace with Catia V5
Theorem Solutions continues to keep pace with Dassault Systemes' latest Catia V5 releases, with strong sales of its CADverters compatible with Catia V5 release 17 and earlier.
Theorem's new Multi-CAD module enables data in a variety of formats to be imported directly into users' current CATIA V5 sessions.
Streamlining the sharing and use of non-CATIA data within design, manufacturing, design-in-context and visualisation environments, the new module replicates the ability of CATIA's insert existing component command to bring CATParts and CATproducts into the current CATIA V5 space and work with them.
Using Theorem's new Multi-CAD module, CATIA V5 users can simply insert UGNX, I-DEAS and Pro/E parts or assemblies into the current workspace without the need to undertake an external CAD translation.

Seminars focus on lightweight product data formats
Theorem Solutions has teamed up with University of Sunderland to present a day-long programme of free seminars highlighting the capabilities and implications of new lightweight product data formats.
The process is simply a menu pick, followed by the selection of the required part or assembly from a normal file system tree.
Items inserted into CATIA V5 in this way maintain links to the original data, ensuring that any subsequent modifications to the imported part or assembly will be automatically updated in the CATIA V5 session.
Theorem's innovative TPM (Theorem Process Manager) application enables users to save time and money through the automation, control and management of their computing processes.
The new software is not only applicable to customers in Theorem's traditional design and manufacturing market, but also provides major benefits to IT and data processing users across a wide range of industry sectors.
TPM enables complex batch operations to be initiated by a simple drag and drop action that can execute programs, evaluate results and both collect or distribute files.
It is ideal for running and scheduling a range of processes and can be easily configured to apply pre-determined actions based on the outcome of each program.
As a result, the new application provides a highly efficient method of scheduling jobs, automatically redirecting work and resubmitting work that falls below specified quality levels as well as automatically informing others of progress, applying company standards and keeping every detail in an audit trail for summary reports or in-depth examination.
Also on show at COE 2007 will be Theorem's new Universal CATIA translators for UGNX and JT users, which both streamline and simplify data translation and collaborative working under real world conditions by automatically differentiating between CATIA V5 and V4 data files and converting them to the required UGNX or JT format in a single operation.
UGNX and JT are widely employed alongside CATIA in many long-term design projects and it is not unusual for design and manufacturing organisations to use both CATIA V4 and CATIA V5 on production work.
The exporting of CATIA data is complicated by the fact that CATIA V5 assemblies can incorporate embedded CATIA V4 files; something that may not become apparent until there is a need to undertake data translation.
Providing a complete solution, Theorem's Universal CATIA to UGNX and CATIA to JT CADverters eliminate the need for users to determine which version of CATIA the target data is supplied in.
They not only identify and convert mixed native CATIA V5 and V4 files automatically, but also recognise and translate CATIA V5 assemblies that include embedded V4 data all without operator input.
Because most single version translators are unable to accommodate such shared format assemblies, Theorem's new Universal CATIA CADverters more than exceed the capabilities of separate products as even a combination of stand-alone V4 and V5 translators will fail to meet all user requirements.
Other Theorem products on show at the Las Vegas event include the company's range of CATIA to JT and ProductView convertors and its Data eXchange Navigator (DXN), which provide enhanced communications and interoperability between CAD systems.
