* (Slide is initially shown with only the left-hand text bullets) OK, so - on with the class. As I said before, we will start by reviewing the way in which CAD and PDM bring different strengths to the table. First, a look at CAD systems like Unigraphics. These type of systems are good at generating data - mainly geometric. That is their focus and they specialize in helping you get your designs and documentation produced. Modern CAD systems with parametric and hybrid modeling techniques can create a large number of associations between data objects. When you have a complex shape to model, today’s systems are very good - far ahead of what we had even a few years ago. (Click to show the right hand text bullets) However, there are other aspects of engineering activity which they are not so good at. No shame on them - this is not their area of expertise. They are not so good at keeping track of data outside sessions, finding it, cross-referencing it via the associations which were created, managing product structure or enabling a revision process. (Click to show the monster’s head) This stark contrast can give you a serious problem. Remember the Frankenstein movies? Victor Frankenstein created life - but it turned into a monster which ultimately killed him. That can happen to your business if you aren’t in control of the data being produced with your CAD system. * (Slide is initially shown with only the left-hand text bullets) OK, so - on with the class.
