MATEOS™ FOR SOLIDWORKS

INTEGRATION WITH ARAS

Mateos™ neutral design integration platform is a collaborativeplayfield for the designer fraternity of an organization.

It enhances designer’s productivity allowing more time to innovateby synchronizing designs in a centralized PLM data repository for theglobal enterprise throughout the product’s maturity from conceptto production, right from the designer’s native CAD environment.

Enhanced productivity and

collaborative development:

• Seamless design co-development

throughout the concept-to-production

product phases within the organization

and external suppliers

• Right design version & variants

information at the right time for the

extended enterprise

• Granular comparison (both structure

and data), chat, share screen, give

control and co-design with peers

• Context-sensitive natural UI; designers

spend more time in designing rather

than routine data management, sync

and communication overheads

• Staying ‘live’ and course corrections

with design changes in the server

and local

• Simplified administrative routines

with a highly configurable system

and an in-built license management

server

Shorten time to market and

operational costs:

• Centralized design data

management eliminating duplication

& errors

• Enhanced design discovery, reuse

and swift product change process

• Design process standardization

across various corporate initiatives

Increase quality (2 to 3 fold)

Increase Productivity (40% to 90%)

Quicker Time to Market (25% to 70%)

Product Development Time (25% to 90%)

Reduce Product Changes (50% to 60%)

The Design Integration basics:

• Design structure management and synchronization of models with EBOM in PLM reducingredundancy and data integrity errors

• Multi-Format Management: Handle various Solidworks models, drawings, templates, viewers,images and reference document types

• Local design workspace bi-directionally synchronized and controlled with PLM Server to stay-live.Perform major PLM related design activities with context-sensitive menu directly from Solidworks

• Visual status indicating changes with respect to server design data

• Search PLM or local workspace, reserve models & drawings, check-in, check-out, auto-recognize,resolve ambiguities, bidirectional attribute sync, revision and version management, design changehistory and traceability, where-used, design finalization and release management

• Latest revision/version, configuration, effective dates based design check-in / check-out operations

Design Templates Management to reusedesigns and improve quality with processstandardization

Drawing generation with auto-updates oftitle block attributes

Digital Mockup: Lightweight 2D/3Dmockups provide previews on models priorto actual design operations. View, edit,annotate and communicate with in-builtneutral viewers

• Explore PLM and navigateright within the nativeSolidworks environment

• Thumbnail and viewersupport in Aras PLM pagesenabling digital mockup &visualization on the webwithout the native CADtool

• 3D PDF generation

• Local design workspacebi-directionallysynchronized with thePLM server in real-time

Product configurations and design tablesmanagement

Assets Briefcase for managing designcollections

Custom Attribute / Design Type mapping forflexible and seamless attribute sync. Search,view, edit and sync custom attributes both inSolidworks and PLM

A comprehensive design dashboard for

an engaging natural and transparent UI

that:

• Presents recently designed models and

frequently accessed briefcase items

with complete server auto-sync

• Rich design tiles: Context-Sensitive

smart tiles displaying server status,

reservation controls and quick action

links for routine operations

• One-touch navigability between the

design IDE, local workspace and PLM

• Break-less designing

leveraging background

processes for PLM file

operations

• Comprehensive design folders

and files management

• Advanced Filtering: Pre & post,

flexible summary filters, smart

context-sensitive operations

based on filtered conditions

• Views: Intuitive hierarchical

design grid, configurable multi-

form views with carousels and

thumbnails in vibrant theme

combinations.

Product configurability and

preferences: Admin and designer

level preferences to have granular

control on design data management.

To name a few - configurable auto-

sync intervals for design status with

the Aras PLM server. Real-time

switching options between PLM

design databases

Localization support for global

languages

File Transfer: Design data file transfers are

fast, reliable and parallel with background,

pause-resume options

Inbuilt License Management: Zero admin

overhead in managing the license server and

handling personnel movements

Neutral integration framework to leverage

multi-CAD and/or multi-PLM usage in different

departments of the organization at a

centralized location.

Collaboration: MS Lync based chat with person who has

reserved or conference with designers of previous versions.

Pre-configurable chat text and design mockups are

automatically inset in the chat terminal for instant context

setting regarding the agenda. Share screens, snapshot-n-

mail, grant control to design, annotate, communicate and

co-design

Tightly coupled advanced PLM operations within

Solidworks IDE. As an example, when the designer saves a

file, he/she can configure his IDE to either save the design

(File Save or CTRL + S) in the local workspace or Aras

PLM server directly or at both places. Similarly during

opening a file (File Open or CTRL + O), options to open

files from the local workspace or directly from Aras PLM are

available
