This topic describes how to configure the CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE object adapter for recipe files.

Three files control the output that the object adapter generates:

Converting CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE data to Creo View format takes place in two stages. First geometry data is read from theCATIA 3DEXPERIENCE files, then the geometry is converted into Creo View viewable data.

In a recipe file, the configuration file is identified as adapter/ConfigFile=D:\\PTC\\icenterv01-workers\\catiav6R2017x\\theoremconfig.txt

Processing large CATIA V5 assemblies often requires access to large amounts of resources. This can be a combination of both available disk space as well as memory resources, and can be compounded by the CATIA V5 API methodology of accessing assembly data. PTC recommends to enable longer time-outs in the WVS.properties file for working with large assemblies.

For very large assemblies and components the default timeout values in the wvs.properties file may not be long enough. Below are the properties from the wvs.properties file that influence worker timeout values:

The values are in seconds. If the CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE worker times out on large publishing jobs, then increase the value of these properties. Edit these values through the site.xconf file and use xconfmanager -p to propagate the settings.
