In a global development process, DATA EXCHANGE is an integral daily task, facilitating seamless collaboration. TECHNIAs X4.0 and XFileV5 solutions are enabling the transfer of complex file sets between collaborating departments and international partners.

DATA MIGRATION projects, which involve transferring data from one system or environment to another, can be challenging due to various factors like data complexity, data volume, data quality, etc. TECHNIAs Q-Checker and XFileV5 solutions are analyzing CATIA V5 assembly structures and maintaining data integrity, accuracy and quality.

Key Features

Data exchange

Aggregated File Management to efficiently collect all files linked to the root file within a consolidated (.tar) container. Streamlined unpacking and preservation of .tar containers while preserving the complete structure of CATIA V5 files.

Link analysis - consistent file set

Comprehensive directory analysis to uncover relationships between CATIA V5 root documents and their linked counterparts. Ensure structural integrity by promptly detecting missing files, safeguarding the overall functionality of the structure.

Name and property modification

Execute bulk modifications effortlessly, relocating both the root document and its associated files while maintaining data consistency and link integrity. Batch property customization allows renaming file names, part numbers, revisions, and other properties collectively, without the need for manual intervention.

Delete

Efficient deletion processes with a structured deletion approach for CATIA V5 structures or specific components within those structures. Empower users to selectively retain files, providing control and flexibility in the deletion process.

USE CASES

DATA EXCHANGE PACKAGES​

Export​: Users select a root document, and data is consolidated into a single container with all linked documents. Verification ensures all linked objects are embedded within the root documents, along with an XML file reporting the link structure.

Import​: Incoming containers are analyzed for completeness, listing all root documents and linked objects, identifying missing documents. Users can then load files into CATIA or save them to disk.

Operates interactively in CATIA, in external User Interface and as command line batch.​

LINK ANALYSIS - CONSISTENT FILE SET

Command-line tool designed to verify the consistency of CATIA V5 document sets within a designated directory.

This tool is primarily intended for ensuring the consistency of incoming and outgoing CATIA V5 document sets, as well as analyzing file systems to identify root documents and their associated components, such as in preparation for a PDM project.

Operates interactively in CATIA and as command line batch.

NAME & PROPERTY MODIFICATION

  • MOVE identifies root documents within the specified directory and, if chosen, in all subdirectories.
  • MOVE transfers selected CATIA root documents along with all linked files to a new destination, ensuring updated file links.
  • Offers the option to save a transfer list as an XML file, allowing for file name modifications and addition or alteration of properties.

Operates interactively in CATIA.

DELETE

  • Safely Deleting CATIA Documents: The secure mode verifies if the chosen documents are referenced by others within the current directory.
  • Deletion operations are logged for record-keeping purposes.

Operates interactively in CATIA.
