CADfix PPS 5.1 expands import/export support and auto-simplification tools.
International TechneGroup, Inc. (ITI, a Wipro Company) has released CADfix PPS 5.1, the latest version of its CAD model simplification solution. CADfix PPS 5.1 adds expanded import/export support and improved auto-simplification tools, making it easier to integrate complex CAD models into plant design and digital twin workflows.
Expanded import/export capabilities
CADfix PPS 5.1 improves interoperability with enhanced import/export options for better data exchange between major CAD systems and industry-standard formats.
New interfaces are released for:
- Revit (.rvt, .rfa) import and export with BREP and facet support
- Navisworks (.nwd, .nwc) facet import with assembly support
- SmartPlant 3D export via ACIS, STEP, IFC, DWG, and DGN
- MicroStation (.dgn) new export interface and updated import
- New IFC export interface and import now includes both BREP and facet entity support
CAD version and neutral format support is updated with interfaces for:
- CATIA V5-6 R2024, NX 2406, Inventor 2025, Solid Edge 2024, SOLIDWORKS 2025
- ACIS R2024 1.0, Parasolid 37
Enhanced auto-simplification tools
CADfix PPS 5.1 improves the automation of model simplification to further optimize CAD models for downstream applications. There are improvements in the handling of complex body partitioning, hole and protrusion removal that enable greater levels of model simplification. Improved handling of connectors like flanges, blanks, and nozzles helps preserve key design features and connection points.
User interface enhancements
CADfix PPS 5.1 introduces updated usability features for improved control and efficiency. The enhanced hidden entity display controls allow users to manage visibility more effectively within the GUI, while updates to the Model Tree enable cylinder and revolve simplification with a right-mouse-button click.
With these updates, CADfix PPS 5.1 enhances CAD model preparation, helping engineers and designers streamline workflows, maintain data accuracy, and improve efficiency in multi-CAD environments.
