Datakit Converters v2023.2 Released

LYON, France, Apr 5, 2023 – Datakit announces the general availability of release v2023.2.  This release guarantees complete compatibility with the most recent updates of 3D engineering software or modelers.

Users of Datakit converters are now able to read files of ACIS 3D 2022 1.0, CATIA V5 3D V5-6R2023 (R33), Fusion 360 3D: 2.0.15509, Parasolid 3D V35.1, UG NX 2D: NX 2212 Release (up to 2212.4000), UG NX 3D: NX 2212 Release (up to 2212.4000) or to write parts or assemblies designed with CATIA V5 3D release R20.

A new data converter dedicated to NavisWorks is also available. It deals with the latest BIM solution in the Datakit range of products. It enables to retrieve files designed with NavisWorks, release 2016 to 2023.

It meets the needs of construction professionals to carry out dimensioning computations and determine the best possible construction method and generally all stakeholders who wish to monitor a project.

With its converter, you will import a NavisWorks project to view it in your available software. You will retrieve a complete scene in an instant and be able to leverage design data, geometry, colours and textures, as well as components (with their exact placements in the project) and the appropriate units of measurement regardless of the origin of the project. All of this, without requiring a NavisWorks license.

This converter allows you also to rely on its data to go further in the operational management of a building, a factory or any other study currently being done.

The converter takes into account the way NavisWorks manages compression and respects instantiation and tessellation features.

Thus, Datakit further strengthens its presence as an interoperability facilitator with BIM professionals and their partners. Datakit has been offering converters for Autodesk REVIT BIM software or the IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) format for several years and guarantees compatibility with the latest versions of software products but also with their previous versions.

Version V2023.2 of Datakit converters includes performance optimizations, particularly for these two BIM formats.
