PDMS RvmTranslator

This document introduces RvmTranslator, a tool that can translate PDMS RVM files to other file formats like STEP, IGES, and STL without using AVEVA Review. RVM files contain 3D model geometry and are the main input for AVEVA Review software. RvmTranslator makes it possible to exchange model data with other CAD programs. It works by reading RVM files and allowing users to select an export file format with a simple interface. Examples show plant and ship models imported to AutoCAD after translation from RVM.

Abstract. AVEVA Review is used for 3D model visualisation for plant or ship design,
construction and operation. The RVM file is main input of AVEVA Review.
RvmTranslator can translate RVM file to STEP, IGES, STL, etc without Review, only
rely on the RVM file.

Key Words. AVEVA Review, PDMS RVM, STEP, IGES, STL, Data Exchange

1. Introduction

AVEVA Plant/Marine can export RVM file to AVEVA Review, so the RVM file contains
all the geometry information. The RvmTranslator can read RVM file and translate to
STEP, IGES, STL, etc. And so can exchange model data with other CAD software, such
as Autodesk, Solidworks, Pro/e, etc.
2. RvmTranslator Usage
RvmTranslator can translate PDMS RVM to STEP, IGES, STL, etc. The usage of
RvmTranslator is easy, after you download the RvmTranslator, run RvmTranslator by
RvmTranslator.bat, and input the RVM file name and the export file type, such as STEP,
IGES, STL.
