TransMagic Ships R9 with Metadata Extraction to XML

By DE Editors

TransMagic Inc. has announced TransMagic Release 9 (R9), its solution to maintain 3D data integrity across business applications. The focus of R9 is on usability enhancements, finding and repairing errors in the geometry, and customizing workflow. In this release, TransMagic delivers support for updated CAD versions along with customer requested enhancements, including metadata output, point mesh creation and XL-64 processing.

R9 offers a new PMI++ option to identify metadata stored in a model and output it in XML. The XML output can be stored, viewed or utilized by other software applications making it an ideal tool for integration with business systems. PMI++ supports product manufacturing information, assembly hierarchy, part names and other metadata stored in a model. Models can also be converted to a polygon point mesh which can protect intellectual property.  

TransMagic R9 offers updated bidirectional support for CATIA V5 R21, Parasolid V24 and ACIS R22, in addition to support for all major 3D CAD formats including SolidWorks, NX, Creo Elements, Inventor and more. The enhanced Auto Repair Wizard now provides visibility on problem geometry so errors can be resolved with tools such as MagicSurface.

XL-64 (64-bit) is now available in all TransMagic products, which the company says offers performance gains up to 50% over 32-bit processing. One advantage of TransMagic XL-64 is the ability to convert multi-gigabyte data sets that were previously not possible. The installed language of R9 can be re-configured into Spanish, Portuguese, English or German with the “Interface” menu.
