The following CAD versions are newly supported:

Support has been added for reading CATIA V6 2013x .3dxml, .3drep and .PLMBriefcase files.  This includes geometry data as well as tessellations.

It is now possible to read parameters from NX into HyperMesh via the native reader. NX parameters are imported as HyperMesh parameter entities, with relevant types, values and expressions defined.  Metadata is associated to the relevant geometric objects in HyperMesh, to indicate which parameters affect those objects. In addition, metadata is also created to indicate the full name of each parameter, as HyperMesh parameter entities are created from the NX parameter short name.

Changing the parameter values in HyperMesh does not update the geometry. It is up to the user to create any relevant dimensions or shape variables accordingly as needed. There is also not a live link with NX for making parameter updates and reading in the updated geometry. Such an implementation must be done by the customer.

To enable this behavior, the @ImportParameters and @ParametersPrefix options are available in the ug_reader.ini file.

Support for SolidWorks has been added to ExtAPI, cadassm and Part Browser.  This allows for BOM file generation via the Import BOM GUI, as well as representation management via Part Browser.

Support for populating the UID value via cadassm/Import BOM is now available.  A user-defined attribute can be specified to map to the UID field within the relevant reader .ini file.
