 GM DCS file submissions in Unigraphics NX5  from bestCADsolutions, Inc. - The internet's best off site engineering source!

Effective May 1st 2009 GM is moving to NX5. GM transitioned from DCS checking to CheckMate checking within Unigraphics last summer and that system will continue with the NX5 upgrade at GM. Customers currently submitting Unigraphics data to GM via DCS will need to have their model geometry checked in through CheckMate prior to DCS Toolkit submissions. This will require an add on module for your Unigraphics software and also the GM Toolkit. Call or email us for current pricing to have us check in your parts for you, prior to submission to GM.  We can save you serious time and money.     Contact:  data@bestCADsolutions.com

 
   

bestCADsolutions converts almost any format of data to or from Unigraphics, including NX5.

Below is an alphabetical list of the most common formats we convert to Unigraphics NX5 for GM:

ACIS: .sat format

Autodesk: .dxf, .dwf and .dwg formats

Autodesk Inventor: .ipt, .iam, .idw formats (Versions 5.3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

Autodesk Mechanical Desktop: .dxf, .dwf and .dwg formats

Computer Graphics Metafile: .cgm format

CATIA V4 or V5: .aix1flat, .CATPart, .CATDrawing, .exp, .mod, .model,  + other formats

EMS: ems format

Ideas: pmd, xpk, plmxpk and .prt project file formats. Revision 10 NX (backwards compatible to V9 SDRC I-deas), 11 NX2, 12 NX3, 13 NX4. Phasing out ideas at NX6 release when it becomes 100% integrated into the Unigraphics family. We will only be converting package files to or from Ideas beginning in January 2008.

IGES 2D or 3D neutral translations: .igs or .IGES format. Data outputs as solid model, stl, xml, .jt, wireframe or surface data. Great free 3D viewers available for NX via jt format. Get it here!

MDS: .mds format

Parasolid: x_b and x_t formats

PTC Pro/ENGINEER: asm and prt formats. versions: release 18 thru Wildfire

Solid Edge .asm, dft, .par, .psm, and .pwd weldment formats. Any Solid Edge file through version 21

SolidWorks: sldprt, sldasm, and slddrw

Stereo lithography files: .stl format

STEP 203 or step 214 neutral translations: .stp, .step, or .STEP

Unigraphics: .prt format for versions 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, 12,13,14,15,16,17,18, NX, NX2, NX3, NX4, NX5 or NX6.

Visio 2007, 2003, 2002,etc.

Virtual Reality Modeling Language - VRML: wrl and wrml formats for version 1.0 and 2.0, +.

XML: ..jt, .xml and .xmlplm formats. We ad more of these almost daily.

XVL: .xvl format

If it isn't on this list we probably have it.

   

 

bestCADsolutions, Inc. sets the standard for part conversions to native Unigraphics for General Motors from any CAD platform. GM is currently using NX5 effective 01 May 2009.

NX3, NX4 ,or NX5 for GM submissions.

Send us your math models or drawings in any format. We convert the files to native Unigraphics for your transfer into the GM system. bestCADsolutions uses CheckMate within NX3, NX4 or NX5 to check in your finished Unigraphics NX5 data prior to submission to GM.

Call 1-715-247-5827 to discuss your particular GM submission needs or to obtain a free quotation.

bestCADsolutions - Streamlining data submissions into General Motors.

  • Save time using 3D-based CAD design collaboration
  • Improve CAD data interoperability at a lower cost
  • Repurpose 3D assets to create richer technical documentation

For submissions that aren't required to go through the toolkit, we use GM standards for view definition, layer categories, reference sets, etc.

 bestCADsolutions staff has experts who know the GM common process whether you need parametric Unigraphics NX5 CAD data or dumb solids, we get the job done quickly and correctly.  We work on or off site!

For those of you who are ahead of the pack, we are also currently running NX5 (64 bit). Get your jobs done faster than ever with NX5. The new editing of parameters in NX5 blows away any CAD system, Our editing time was reduced by 80% when we migrated from NX4 to NX5. It is awesome.
