Hi,

I noticed that the latest version of OpticStudio has an option to export the system to a CATPART or CATPRODUCT. I have tried to export one of my systems, but I cannot read it with our version of CATIA, V5, Release 17, Service Pack 2, Build 27.

What is the CATIA version used by OpticStudio for those export formats? Is there any way to change/select the CATIA version?

Thank you for your help!

Hi Sebastian,

You can export CAD file in OpticStudio 20/21 by selecting the output file format type as CATPART or CATPRODUCT. Please note that “Use ACIS Libraries” needs to be ticked under Set-up...Project Preferences...General. Below are the minimum CATIA versions required to export CAD:

  • OpticStudio 20: CAD exports require a minimum of CATIA V5 R29
  • OpticStudio 21: CAD exports require a minimum of CATIA V5 R31

 

Best regards,

Moj

Hi Moj,

Thank you for your reply. Are those then the minimum CATIA versions required to open the CATIA files exported by OpticStudio?
