CADfix支持的格式转换

使用用户化的自动"向导"来处理，也可以用交互式工具来处理。当自动"向导"处理方式可行的话，CADfix还提供批处理方式的工具来处理大量的模型数据。

CADfix提供的五级转换工具分别是：输入、修复、转换、输出准备、输出。

CADfix可以直接读取几种CAD文件及其它STEP、IGES文件。在输入阶段，CADfix读取模型数据到自己的数据结构中，其间可以有选择的进行一些主要的数据处理，如自动封闭边界等。

修复阶段是CADfix将读入的数据恢复成符合要求的数据模型，其中包括拓扑结构的修复，如去除重复的点和边，确定曲面边界，根据一系列不联接的面构件实体等。修复阶段，CADfix能指出模型中缝隙之所在。

在可选的转换阶段中，可以利用融合和分割工具使数据模型更适合下游的应用软件。

输出准备阶段是一项艰巨的工作，它要使几何模型能满足目标系统的要求。在这里，应用了CADfix特有的技术，如调整NURBS表达式来满足特定的精度。"数据治愈"是这一阶段最必要的处理方式，它能对留存的"飘浮"几何对象进行校准。如前所述，这也是一项艰巨的工作，CADfix利用了一项神奇的技术来获得最合理的结果，满足使用要求。

最后一步是输出，它把输出准备后的数据模型输出到指定的文件格式，如IGES、STEP等。

CADfix使数据交换成为可能

由于CAD数据越来越多地被用到，企业寻求一种CAx系统之间交互操作的最佳的解决方案显得尤为重要。但是通用的数据转换格式如IGES、STEP不会也将不会解决几何数据转换中的所有问题，从而使数据修复和转换工具在企业级应用中扮演了重要的角色。CADfix是一种灵活的、易于使用的工具，它不能自动解决所有的问题，但为解决最棘手的几何数据交换问题上指明了方向。

CADfix被打包为台式机或服务器的解决方案，可扩展的模块化功能依赖于源系统和目标系统的最终用户。 应用程序可以集成到PLM工作流程自动化工具。 CADfix也可作为预处理器自定义的几何翻译，维修，去特色和啮合专利，CAE为中心的OEM应用程序的工具。

CADfix提供多种输入输出转换格式：ACIS, Parasolid, IGES , STEP, STL, VDAFS, CATIA, CADDS5, ANSYS (report),Pro/Engineer PART,NX PART等等，为便于用户使用，CADfix另外提供CAE模型工具、模型转换工具、CAM应用工具。

CADfix removes barriers that prevent the reuse of solid models by providing an extensive set of geometry manipulation tools for importing CAD/CAM/CAE data, repairing it, and exporting the data in the most suitable form for reuse in the downstream system.

Through a user-friendly Wizard interface, the geometry repair and preparation process ensures that the model is correctly defined and suitably flavored for the downstream application by detecting and repairing a range of CAD geometry issues. CADfix also offers model de-featuring utilities which are very popular with CAE analysis users who require automated de-featuring operations (i.e. joining or collapsing of short edges and small faces, removing fillets and rounds, removing holes, etc.).

CADfix is packaged as a desktop or server solution with extensible modular functionality dependent upon the source and target systems of the end user. The application may be integrated into PLM or workflow automation tools. CADfix also serves as a pre-processor for custom geometric translation, repair, de-featuring and meshing tools for proprietary, CAE-centric OEM applications.
