MSC.Software has a V5 to ANSYS Gateway product which will allow you to take Mesh properties and boundry conditions to ANSYS. Unfortunately it does not support V5R7.
It is available for V5R8sp2 and above. It does require you to have a seat of GPS as well.
I am not a V4 guy but I believe there is a product in V4 named Develop which will do what you are asking. The functionality does not yet exist in V5 to my knowledge.

Hello Paul,
You may investigate Translation Technologies Inc.
http://www.translationtech.com/
They will do a feature recognition translation from CATIA to PRO-E and back for you (at a cost of course).

Hello Petecul,
If you have it loaded, I have found the online documentation to be a fairly decent starting point. It's contextual help will allow you to get help by hitting F1 while in a command.
It also has sample parts that you can open as read only which will allow for quick learning. Good...
