3D Viewer search

[ewh]

We are in the process of choosing a 3D viewer for those here without NX to interrogate and mark up models. So far we have looked at UG's, SolidWorks and Adobe. Does anyone here have any experience with these? What would you recommend? TIA

UGS has Teamcenter Visualization. I can't say it is the best compared to others but it is coming from the people who own NX and JT file standards. We would hope they have the best solution.

Have you looked at the free (sort of) JT viewer from UGS called "JT2Go"? If not, please go to:

http://www.jt2go.com/

You can download a trial copy to test.

Thanks, guys. So far Teamcenter Visualization is ahead, but we have yet to check out JT2Go. Will do so next week.

Note that JT2Go is sort of a Teamcenter Visualization 'junior' since in reality, it's based on TC Visualization, as described at the website I posted earlier.

Is JT2Go free? Or is just the viewer free?

I know that there is a free trial, but I don't know what the long term deal is. I would sign up for the free trial and see what happens.

Have you tried the Xpresreview from UGS?
You can download that one from UGS own site.

You can, from NX3 or NX4, save a part/assy as a package file. That will create a *.pcf file to be used with Xpresreview.

Of course, to make it possible to save to a package file, you have to buy a license from UGS.

But anyone can download the viewer and use the *.pcf files.

There was a free viewer a few months back. For the likes of me I cannot remember the name of it.

plmexchange, didn't you have it linked on your web site once?

Jackley,

I did have an article up:

http://www.plmexchange.net/1031200581

pointing to:

http://www.jt2go.com/upgrade/index.shtml

that referred to the free JT viewer, and far as i know it is still a free solution.

The one I am thinking of wasn't jt2go. I'll have to search around and find it. I know I gave the link out to a few engineers here and the boss to see if it was a better alternative to what we currently use. Didn't hear anything after that though.

I suppose the ugs viewers are probably the ones to go for but the spinfire viewer is a good alternative
