How to Connect catia to other Cad software

How to Connect catia to other Cad software

How to Connect catia to other Cad software

(OP)
Hello every one,

I use Geomagic Studio. This software provides a package for catia. In fact, I should can export some geometries to catia simultaneously. But I can not. Because I should set "Port Number" and "Data Exchange Directory" of Geomagic in Catia, but I do not know how to set them.

This software produces a XML file like this in "Data Exchange Directory":
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<model name="-c18790_3"> -<units> <length>millimeters</length> <angular>radians</angular> </units> -<translationOptions> <features2DAs>Multiple 2D Sketches</features2DAs> <curveObjectsAs>Single 3D Sketch</curveObjectsAs> <dimensionSketches>true</dimensionSketches> <constrainSketches>true</constrainSketches> <removeCircularArcs>false</removeCircularArcs> <extrudeToSurface>false</extrudeToSurface> <pairwiseTrim>false</pairwiseTrim> <minimumArcAngle>0.52359877559829</minimumArcAngle> <maximumArcRadius>8.289</maximumArcRadius> </translationOptions> -<CADOperations> -<entity> <name>Feature-Cylinder 1</name> <operation>Join</operation> <createAs>Solid</createAs> </entity> </CADOperations> <datumSet/> <featureSet name="c18790_3-3D-Sketch-Group"/> <curveSets/> -<surfaceSet> -<cylinder name="Feature-Cylinder 1" id="Feature-Cylinder 1"> -<center> <x>-0.290522528</x> <y>2.028853419</y> <z>93.54787095500001</z> </center> -<xAxis> <x>0.655642376515</x> <y>-0.752288208430</y> <z>-0.064772876842</z> </xAxis>
.....


And Catia should read it automatically and create some solid models.

Does anyone know that how should I set "Port Number" and "Data Exchange Directory" in Catia v5R20?

Thanks.
