Advanced Meshing Tools Database Design Import

Database Design Import (DBDI) enables the migration of CATIA V5 data stored in a legacy database into 3DEXPERIENCE.

This topic specifies the import correspondences between V5 data types and 3DEXPERIENCE content types, and the import result. The statuses for import results are fully imported, partially imported, and not imported (-).

This page discusses:

Common Import Behavior

This section describes the behavior of CATIA V5 data stored in legacy databases imported into 3DEXPERIENCE that is common to all connectors.

V5 Data Type 3DEXPERIENCE Content Type Import Result
1D Meshes 1D meshes Fully imported
Surface Meshes Surface triangle or surface quad meshes Fully imported
Advanced Surface Meshes Surface triangle or surface quad meshes Partially imported.

Local specifications for internal cracks become a global parameter (Ignore internal cracks).

Octree 2D and 3D MeshesOctree triangle and Octree tetrahedron meshesFully imported
3D Meshes3D meshesFully imported
Transformed MeshesTransformed meshesFully imported

Workaround: update the mesh.
