The CATDMUUtility is a batch process enabling the generation of .CATPart, .cgr formats from SolidEdge/Parasolid/VDA-FS files.
A typical computation parameters file looks like this:
- Converting a file to a V5 cgr file
CATStart.exe -env CATIA.V5R10.B10 -direnv C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv -run "CATDMUUtility -f InputPartFile -cgr OutputCgrFile" - Converting a file to a V5 CATPart file
CATStart.exe -env CATIA.V5R10.B10 -direnv C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv -run "CATDMUUtility -f InputPartFile -part OutputPartFile.CATPart"
Options
Please find below the different options available.
Input Options
-f : Input file with appropriate extension. A path must follow the option. Extension files should be .par.
Output Options
-cgr : Output file for cgr corresponding to a
part input file.
-part : Output file for CATPart corresponding to
the part input file.
Other options
The other options available for conversion are the
settings corresponding to the environment.
They are defined in Tools -> Options -> General -> Compatibility -> External
Formats.
In particular, the use of cgr or CATPart can be customized in these options.
For more information see
Customizing External Formats.
How to run the Batch
-
Write a shell script containing the following lines:
"C:\<install_dir>\intel_a\code\bin\\CATStart.exe -env CATIA.V5R10.B10 -direnv C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv -run "CATDMUUtility.exe -f inputfile -cgr outputfile1"
Where
-env ... is the default environment
-direnv ... is the directory path containing this environment.
CATIA.V5R10.B10 is an example of environment name, it will vary with the level of CATIA installed. -
Run the shell.
