Elysium CADfeature
Translate other 3D CAD to SOLIDWORKS with Feature History and Associative Drawings
Enhanced CAD Migration
Easily migrate parts and assemblies from other CAD systems into SOLIDWORKS with Elysium CADfeature. Go beyond just the model’s boundary representation and capture features, assembly relationships, associated drawings, and non-graphic properties of the complete model.
Feature History
Migrate feature history to capture design intent and enable modification by features.
Geometry
Robust B-rep recovery if feature is not supported to ensure model completeness.
Associative Drawings
Keep connectivity between the 3D model and the associated 2D drawings.
Product Structure
Maintain the product structure from the original CAD format.
Tools
Elysium CADfeature
Advanced CAD Migration Tools
CAD Integration
CAD Integration for on the fly file conversion for 3D models and 2D drawings.
Batch Processing
Set up multiple jobs to automate and schedule a variety of different translation types.
QA ReportS
Intelligent QA Reports that check the overall results of Parts, Assemblies, Drawings with statistical analysis and detailed messages.
CADfeature Viewer
Verify the quality of feature-based translations by graphically overlaying the source CAD model to the target CAD model to check if any problems occurred during the translation process.

Features
Feature Translation
Translate features utilizing the feature tools and history from the original CAD system to the best practices of the new CAD system.
2D Associative Drawings
Migrate your 2D drawings and keep the associativity with your 3D models. Associative drawings that preserve sheet layouts, drawing views, scale factors, annotations, and dimensions that update when associated 3D parts or assemblies change.
Thread Definition
Retain cosmetic threads and attribute values from the original CAD system.
Standard Parts Mapping & Part Reuse
Map over standard parts from the original CAD system to the standard parts of the new CAD system. No translation required.
Metadata & Non-Geometric Attributes
CADfeature migrates metadata and non-geometric attributes to ensure that the information behind the geometry, such as PMI, is represented accurately in your targeted CAD system.
Assembly Relationships & Part Library
Accurate translations of assembly mating relationships and reuse of already translated parts.
