Validation Tool
Kubotek Validation Tool™ allows manufacturers and suppliers alike to manage both intended and unintended changes in CAD file data, providing the highest confidence prior to manufacture.
Kubotek's "Pattern Recognition" technology allows for the identification of each surface pattern and matches it to the corresponding surface pattern on the other model - it's simple...anything not matched is a difference.
Validation Tool provides the industry's only geometry-based CAD model validation, providing 100% accurate comparison of CAD part & assembly data. Kubotek invented geometry-based comparision, which is superior to the out-dated points-based method which can provide inaccurate results.
Detect & Document Design Changes
Kubotek offers technology that automates the detection and reporting of design changes by clearly identifying changes in the geometry and Model Based Definition (MBD). Design changes are automatically recorded, allowing teams to easily understand the design changes.
Use the Kubotek ECO Manager to manage engineering changes to quickly and effectively control the engineering change process. Watch the video.
Detect Translation Changes
Unintended changes can be introduced to CAD data during translation from one CAD system to another, or from on manufacturing operation downstream to the next. These movements can cause "translation" changes within the CAD model itself.
Kubotek Validation Tool™ detects changes in the translation errors, and alerts you in an easy to view format, showing the CAD file errors in different colors. These alert colors allow the errors to be individually identified and evaluated by you prior to manufacturing, and enables the avoidance of manufacturing incorrect parts, saving time and money.
Detect Unintended Changes Before Archiving
Kubotek Validation Tool™ detects unintended changes to CAD/MBD for archiving. Before submitting 3D data for long term archiving, original models are converted into the STEP format. Kubotek Validation Tool™ validates the resulting STEP models with the original native data.
Validate CAD Models After Data Migrations
Changing your primary CAD application?
Translating files from the old file format to the new one?
Kubotek Validation Tool™ is the key to ensuring your data translation is accurate. Kubotek Validation Tool compares model geometry, MBD data and many other entities to ensure that you CAD data migration is successful.
Examples of CAD Model Migrations
- CATIA V4 to CATIA V5
- CATIA V5 r17 to CATIA V5 r19
- Pro/Engineer to CATIA
- And many other combinations...
