CAD Data Management Business Drivers

CAD data is a key component of product design

It drives a large percentage of enterprise product development

However it tends not to be leveraged well across the organization because:

Data is isolated in local workgroup managers

Designers are wary of sharing data early

Lack of effective workflow processes for co-design with multiple sites

Competing ownership between Engineering and IT

Unlocking CAD data for the enterprise is a key part of any PLM initiative

Aras Goals for CAD Integration

Slide 8

Standardize the CAD Integration Platform

Allow CAD integration partners to focus on what they do best

Minimize the cost of developing integrations

Allow connectors from different partners to “play together” well

Support project-based custom connectors

Focus on ease of installation and administration of connectors, to speed adoption and reduce cost to customers

Provide customers with immediate out-of-the-box connector capability, with the ability to customize from there

Build a successful CAD integration “ecosystem” to bring value to our customers

Enterprise CAD Data Access

Slide 15

Consider 3 CAD Documents… …and their related Part item

In many systems, accessing the files from all CAD Documents means navigating between all 4 items.

In Aras, the CAD files are directly accessible from the Part, and filtered to show only what’s necessary

(Optional) Part Assign

Aras can manage unified Part / CAD change in several ways

The change approach can vary by design phase

Further automation of the change process from CAD Connectors is a near-term focus

Example: Part and CAD on Simple ECO

Data Exchange & Digital Mockup

Multi-CAD manage often involves:

Data exchange – for data conversion between CAD tools

Digital mockup – for combined CAD model visualization

The CAD data model and business logic is extensible to handle the necessary files and processes

Aras CAD Connector partners have decades of experience and consulting expertise

Come back tomorrow for more on this topic!
