CAD.doctor is a Windows application that can act as the translation hub for your organization as well as the healing and repair tool for our expert corporate support staff. CAD.doctor is a necessary tool for anyone who exchanges CAD data with their suppliers or customers.

With the latest release of CAD.doctor, Elysium continues its trend in providing a stream of enhancements to this industry leading product. In addition to supporting the latest releases of CATIA, I-deas, Pro/E, UGS NX and ACIS, Version EX1 also provides additional tools to improve geometry translation for all CAD systems. With the new EX release, Batch capabilities improve the through-put of translation, healing, and data checking capabilities. Improvements in Geometry checking and validation are also included.

CAD.doctor can be used for more than simple translations. Additional applications include:

• Geometry checking using the PDQ (Product Data Quality standards based on VDA and JAMA specifications)
• Geometry Simplification for Finite Element analysis modeling
• Geometry Comparison between the original CAD data and data after repair or any other processing

Typical problems that are resolved include:

• Self-intersecting surfaces and curves
• Gaps between trim curves and base surfaces
• Sliver Faces
• Short Curves

The CAD.doctor Process

• Import original CAD data and select the target CAD system
• Check the model against the categories of problem areas specific to the target system
• Auto-Stitch to create a solid with user control of the tolerance
• Automatic healing within tolerance for common problems
• Guidance through the process of healing and repairing any remaining problems with control over the tolerances.
• Graphic feedback of the problem and the related geometry
• Only those functions that can solve your problem are displayed
• Export to the target CAD system
