MCAD & PLM Integration

Direct integration of mechanical CAD (MCAD) and PLM allows for effective change management, secure enterprise-wide access, and team collaboration for 9 MCAD data; enabling the realization of effective globally distributed product development teams.

A direct MCAD integration implementation can be scoped to support simple data vaulting, distributed team collaboration, or tight integration with the enterprise engineering release and change control process.MCAD and PLM Integration

Key Features of a Direct MCAD & PLM Integration Include:

  • MCAD system and PLM connect & disconnect
  • Search for MCAD models (based on part number, attribute value, etc.)
  • Check-in/out of MCAD models (i.e., assemblies, parts, drawings)
  • Management of associated/derived MCAD file formats (e.g., .step, .jt, .pdf, etc.)
  • Secure and configurable access to managed MCAD models
  • Lock/Unlock MCAD models
  • Revision & version control
  • Attribute synchronization between the MCAD model and the PLM attributes
  • Rename MCAD models
  • Save-as (copy) MCAD models
  • Design change notification
  • User exits, based on triggered events
  • Lifecycle support for CAD objects
  • MCAD structure and E-BoM synchronization
