Manual Aras 3DV Installation

Aras Package Import provides a manual application installation process.

The installation procedure differs across Aras 3D Visualization components. The subsections of this section discuss the procedure for each component. The installation procedure should be performed for every component to be installed in the order discussed in the Component Installation Order section.

Manual Aras CAD Converter Installation

The following steps outline the process of manual Aras CAD Converter Installation:

  1. In the unzipped Aras 3D Visualization 35 CD Image package, navigate to the following folder: Aras 3D Visualization 35 CD Image\Packages\CADConverter.
  2. Copy the HOOPS Converter folder from the CADConverter package folder into a permanent location on a machine with the Conversion Server, for example, C:\HOOPS Converter.
  3. Copy the ConversionServer folder from the CADConverter package folder to a folder that includes the ConversionServer folder with the installed Conversion Server.
  4. Open the ConversionServerConfig.xml file in a text editor with an admin’s privileges. This file is the root Aras Innovator code tree folder for the default installation. Do not confuse this file with the ConversionServer.config XML file in the ConversionServer folder with the Conversion Server.
  5. In the child sectionGroup name="ConverterSettings” tag of the configSections tag, add the following section tags with attributes:

<configSections>

<sectionGroup name="ConverterSettings">

<section name="ArasCadConverter” type="Aras.ConversionFramework.Converter.Hoops.Configuration.HoopsConverterConfiguration, ArasCadConverter"></section>

<section name="ArasCadConverterPrc” type="Aras.ConversionFramework.Converter.Hoops.Configuration.HoopsConverterConfiguration, ArasCadConverter"></section><section name="DpnCadConverterStepJt” type="Aras.ConversionFramework.Converter.Hoops.Configuration.HoopsConverterConfiguration, ArasCadConverter” />

</sectionGroup>

</configSections>

These new tags define the configurations of the new ArasCadConverter and ArasCadConverterPrc converters.

  1. In the child Converters tag of the ConversionServer tag, add the following Converter tags with attributes:

<ConversionServer>

<Converters>

<Converter name="Aras CAD to PDF Converter” type="Aras.ConversionFramework.Converter.Hoops.HoopsConverter, ArasCadConverter” />

<Converter name="Aras PRC to SCS Converter” type="Aras.ConversionFramework.Converter.Hoops.HoopsConverterPrc, ArasCadConverter” />
<Converter name="JT Step CAD Converter” type="Aras.CadConverter.StepJtCadConverter, ArasCadConverter” xdt:Transform="Insert"/>

</Converters>

</ConversionServer>

These new tags define the new converters. Such a tag specifies a DLL for a given converter and a Class within this DLL that performs the conversion.

  1. In the ConverterSettings tag, add the following ArasCadConverter and ArasCadConverterPrc tags with child tags and attributes:

<ConverterSettings>

<ArasCadConverter>

<Application converterPath="C:\HOOPS Converter\bin\converter.exe"/>

<Command arguments="--sc_compute_bounding_boxes ‘All’ --input_pdf_template_file ‘C:\HOOPS Converter\templates\Blank_Template_L.pdf’ --output_pdf '%filepath%\%filename%.pdf’ --output_png '%filepath%\%filename%.png’ --output_png_resolution ‘150x150' --output_scs '%filepath%\%filename%.scs’ --output_xml_assemblytree '%filepath%\%filename%.xml’ --output_prc '%filepath%\%filename%.prc’ --background_color ‘1.0, 1.0, 1.0' --output_logfile '%filepath%\%filename%.log’” />

<Output>

<UploadToVault>

<File extension="prc” argsMarkers="--output_prc” />

</ArasCadConverter>

<ArasCadConverterPrc>

<Application converterPath="C:\HOOPS Converter\bin\converter.exe"/>

<Command arguments="--output_scs '%filepath%\%filename%.scs’ --output_xml_assemblytree '%filepath%\%filename%.xml’ --output_logfile '%filepath%\%filename%.log’” />

<Output>

<UploadToVault>

<File extension="prc” argsMarkers="--output_prc” />

<File extension="scs” argsMarkers="--output_scs” />

<File extension="pdf” argsMarkers="--output_pdf” />

<File extension="png” argsMarkers="--output_png” />

<File extension="stl” argsMarkers="--output_stl” />

<File extension="xml” argsMarkers="--output_xml_assemblytree” />

</UploadToVault>

</Output>

</ArasCadConverterPrc>
<DpnCadConverterStepJt>

<Application converterPath="/opt/exchange/bin/linux64"/>

<Parameters>

<Parameter key="JTVersion” value="8.1" /> <!-- Optional. Possible values: 8.1|9.5|10.0 -->

</Parameters>

</DpnCadConverterStepJt>

</ConverterSettings>

The ArasCadConverter and ArasCadConverterPrc tags set up the new converters.

The converterPath attributes should include the path to the converter.exe application in the HOOPS Converter folder copied in the third step.

The --input_pdf_template_file argument in the arguments attributes should include the path to the Blank_Template_L.pdf template file in the HOOPS Converter folder copied in the third step.

An entire <… arguments="…" /> attribute must be only one single line without carriage returns or newlines.

The child File tags of the UploadToVault tags enable the files of the given file types to be uploaded to the Vault and rendered correctly by the Viewer.

Capitalization differences, typos, extra newlines, and carriage returns in the ConversionServerConfig.xml file raise an error discussed in the 500.19 Internal Server Error section.

Manual Aras Streaming Viewer Installation

Warning
Please note that the output files of Dynamic/Monolithic Viewer and Streaming Viewer are incompatible with one another. If the Streaming 3D Viewer is installed in an environment where the Monolithic or Dynamic 3D Viewers have been previously installed and used, all existing native files of existing CAD Documents need to be re-converted. There is no automated means to perform this reconversion.

The Streaming Viewer currently cannot be deployed in a cloud environment. The HOOPS Server must be deployed with networked file access to a single vault containing view files for rendering.
Note
Only one Streaming Viewer can be installed on one machine at a time.

The following steps outline the process of manual installation of Aras 3DV Streaming Viewer:

  1. In the unzipped Aras 3D Visualization 35 CD Image package, navigate to the following folder:
    Aras 3D Visualization 35 CD Image\Packages\HOOPS Server
  2. Copy the HOOPS Server folder from HOOPS Sever package to a permanent location on a machine. For example, C:\HOOPS Server.
  3. In the HOOPS Server folder, go to C:\HOOPS Server\server\node and open Config.js file in a text editor run as administrator.
  4. For publicHostname parameter, replace “localhost” value with the IP Address of the local machine.
    For example, publicHostname: “10.188.182.38"

  1. For communicatorDir parameter, enter the path to Hoops Server directory created in the third step.
    For example, communicatorDir: “C:/Hoops Server”

  1. For modelDirs parameter, enter the path to Aras Innovator instance Vault.

For example, modelDirs: [“C:/Aras/Vault/14SP10",]

  1. Set the windowsServiceRespawnEnabled parameter to true.

Note
If the server where Streaming Viewer is installed has Graphic Processing Unit (GPU), then the windowsServiceRespawnEnabled parameter in the Config.js file should be set to false.

  1. Copy the Aras.CADConverter3 license from the Feature Licenses. Only copy the content from the <HoopsLicense> tag for the latest available version, for example:
    <license id="hoops2024">
    <HoopsLicense>4E...xeR</HoopsLicense>

  1. In the Config.js file, for the license parameter, replace it with the newest license copied from the previous step.

  1. Save the Config.js file.
  2. In the Hoops Server folder, right-click start_service file and select Run as Administrator.

  1. Open Windows Services and check if InnovatorRenderingService is added and is running.

  1. Copy the ConversionServer folder from the CADConverter package folder (Aras 3D Visualization 33 CD Image\Packages\CADConverter) to a folder that includes the ConversionServer folder with the installed Conversion Server.
    Replace the files in the destination if the system prompts.
  2. Open ConversionServerConfig.xml file in a text editor run as administrator. This file is in the root Aras Innovator code tree folder in the case of the default installation.
  3. In the <sectionGroup> tag, add the following:

<section name="ArasCadConverter” type="Aras.ConversionFramework.Converter.Hoops.Configuration.HoopsConverterConfiguration, ArasCadConverter"> </section>
<section name="ArasCadConverterPrc” type="Aras.ConversionFramework.Converter.Hoops.Configuration.HoopsConverterConfiguration, ArasCadConverter"> </section>
