Parallel Processing in TransMagic 3D CAD Interoperability Software

By DE Editors

TransMagic Inc. (Westminster, CO) released TransMagic R7 SP2, which introduces parallel processing technology, a new JT read/write add-on translator, major CAD version support and other usability features.

Large CAD file translation and geometry repair operations are very compute-intensive. With this release, all TransMagic products can perform multiple operations simultaneously by taking advantage of dual and quad core computers. TransMagic now reads and writes JT files in both visualization and B-Rep forms. JT files with B-Rep information can be translated as geometry for use in any CAD/CAM/CAE application. With the addition of JT, TransMagic now offers more than 150 different data exchange options in one application.

TransMagic R7 SP2 products are officially certified by Autodesk for use with Inventor 2009. This release includes updated CAD version support for CATIA V5 R18, SolidWorks 2008 and ACIS R18 file formats.

New split window view ports, high resolution 2D image processing and other usability features in this release will help many engineers successfully translate, repair and share 3D files for vendors and a variety of downstream users. TransMagic software reduces the costs of reusing CAD designs in manufacturing applications and eliminates the unnecessary delays and expenses associated with redrafting designs, outsourcing file translations, and sharing design data.
