INSPIRING INNOVATION
Designers gain a seamless connection to data management capabilities within the broader functionality of the PLM system. That’s because SOLIDWORKS models and drawings are integrated directly into the desktop file system. Users can simply save their files to their desktop, much like they would in a non-managed environment. ENOVIA keeps track of which files are changed or out-of-date with the central server
Ensure Designer
Productivity with
PLM
PDM systems focus on managing CAD data and related documentation. They offer capabilities to check-out/check-in CAD models and drawings, to manage design iterations and to control access rights. PLM systems go further by managing all product-related data such as BOMs, requirements, tasks and other information, including CAD data, through a single enterprise view.
Securing all product data in one location provides a single source of truth for the enterprise. To meet the needs of enterprise users, PLM systems offer much more functionality than PDM systems.
Designers do not lose productivity typically associated with the introduction of PLM, because the connector ensures that only the familiar PDM functions are presented in SOLIDWORKS.
A Familiar
User Experience
The experience of managing data with the SOLIDWORKS Connector is very similar to our SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional solution.
A streamlined set of data management functions is available to the user from within the SOLIDWORKS interface.
Designers do not have to leave the SOLIDWORKS environment to check in / check out their data, promote design status for review and release or to gain access to full PLM functionality.
Improve Collaboration
and
Accelerate Innovation
Your SOLIDWORKS data is now available to the rest of the enterprise to enrich the engineering and business processes enabled by ENOVIA.
Issues and tasks can be associated with the related CAD part to ensure proper responsibility, tracking and resolution.
The CAD product structure remains in sync with the engineering bill-of-materials (eBOM) to ensure everyone in the organization is working with the most up-to-date product information.
Real-time assessment of project status is possible with deliverables-based project management and invisible governance, whereby an update to a CAD part or related document is automatically reflected in the project dashboard.
Designers can focus on innovation, rather than on non-value-added tasks such as providing project updates.
