MILFORD, OH, Mar 25, 2025 – International TechneGroup, Inc. (ITI, a Wipro Company) has released CADfix PPS 5.1, the latest version of its CAD model simplification solution. CADfix PPS 5.1 introduces new interoperability capabilities with expanded import/export support and auto-simplification tools, streamlining the integration of complex CAD models into plant design and digital twin workflows.
Expanded Import/Export Capabilities
CADfix PPS 5.1 delivers broader interoperability with improved import/export options, enabling data exchange between major CAD systems and industry-standard formats.
New interfaces are released for:
- Revit (.rvt, .rfa) import and export with BREP and facet support
- Navisworks (.nwd, .nwc) facet import with assembly support
- SmartPlant 3D export via ACIS, STEP, IFC, DWG, and DGN
- MicroStation (.dgn) new export interface and updated import
- The new IFC export and import interfaces now include both BREP and facet entity support
CAD version and neutral format support is updated with interfaces for:
- CATIA V5-6 R2024, NX 2406, Inventor 2025, Solid Edge 2024, SOLIDWORKS 2025
- ACIS R2024 1.0, Parasolid 37
Enhanced Auto-Simplification Tools
CADfix PPS 5.1 introduces updates to support automated model simplification for CAD workflows. Enhancements include refined body partitioning and updated tools for removing holes and protrusions, helping reduce model detail where needed. The software also includes improvements for maintaining key design features and connection points, such as flanges, blanks, and nozzles.
User Interface Enhancements
CADfix PPS 5.1 includes usability updates to improve user control and interface interaction. The hidden entity display controls have been revised to support effective visibility management within the GUI. The Model Tree has also been updated to enable cylinder and revolve simplification through a right-mouse-button menu click.
“With CADfix PPS 5.1, we continue to push the boundaries of CAD interoperability and model simplification and file size reduction,” said Mark Gammon, technical director and product manager at ITI. “The new import/export capabilities and advanced simplification tools empower engineers with greater efficiency and accuracy when preparing complex CAD models for downstream applications. We’re excited about the improvements in this release and look forward to seeing the impact it will have across industries.”
With these updates, CADfix PPS 5.1 supports CAD model preparation by helping engineers and designers streamline workflows, maintain data quality, and work across multi-CAD environments.
