PlanetCAD Launches CATIA V5 Migration Planning Program; Innovative Service Now Offered to CATIA-based Manufacturers Planning Migration to CATIA V5.Business Editors & Technology Writers DETROIT--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 28, 2001 PlanetCAD Inc. (AMEX AMEX See: American Stock Exchange :PCD PCD polycystic disease. ), a leading developer of Cycle Time Reduction solutions for the manufacturing supply chain, today announced the release of the PlanetCAD Passport passport Document issued by a national government identifying a traveler as a citizen with a right to protection while abroad and a right to return to the country of citizenship. It is normally a small booklet containing a description and photograph of the bearer. (TM) to CATIA A family of 2D and 3D CAD programs from IBM. CATIA was one of the first CAD programs to provide 3D solid modeling. The program was developed by Dassault Systems, a French aerospace company. V5 ("Passport V5") program. Passport V5 is a unique planning and budgeting tool essential for all CATIA users and CATIA-based manufacturers migrating from CATIA V4 data to CATIA V5 data. The program provides engineering management with detailed management reports that describe the estimated man-hours necessary to prepare the CATIA V4 data for migration, the critical data issues that will prevent the data from migrating successfully and the actual costs associated with the process. The report also demonstrates the cost savings that can be realized using the auto-correct features available as an option of Passport V5. "A tool like Passport V5 is a necessary element of any engineering design department's migration plans," said Chad Chad (chăd, chäd), Fr. Tchad, officially Republic of Chad, republic (2005 est. pop. 9,826,000), 495,752 sq mi (1,284,000 sq km), N central Africa. Wolcott, director of professional services (job) professional services - A department of a supplier providing consultancy and programming manpower for the supplier's products. for PlanetCAD. "Our extensive tests have shown that manufacturers will need to budget for additional time and costs in preparation for the migration to achieve CATIA V5 standards for best practice. Passport V5 estimates the time and costs for planning and budgeting purposes, and also offers auto-correct utilities that may be used to reduce the cost of standards adherence adherence /ad·her·ence/ (ad-her´ens) the act or condition of sticking to something. immune adherence work by as much as 65 percent." Passport V5 applies PlanetCAD's award-winning PrescientQA technology and proven industry expertise to rapidly process existing CATIA V4 data through agreed checks and common standards required for CATIA V5. Throughout the program, customers work closely with a PlanetCAD Technical Advisor and receive a comprehensive report of the critical standards that are not achieved by the data. Upgrade options to the program provide tools for auto-correction of the migrated data to CATIA V5 standards, and offer "fast-track" access for ongoing quality assessment and repair of the data using the PrescientQA technology. Passport V5 is available immediately through PlanetCAD's Sales Team, and further information about the program is available at: www.planetcad.com. About PlanetCAD Inc.
