Agenda 1 2 3 Industry Initiatives, Challenges and Trends ECAD Enterprise Design Data Management Where We Are / Where We re Going 4 Demo 5 Recap / Questions
Global Product Development Challenges Single Source of Truth Ease of Data Sharing Consolidated BOM Management Too Many Prototypes ECAD data management on local and/or shared drives with non-standard naming conventions, lack of revision control/wip data lifecycle mgt Data visualization between ECAD and MCAD authors and the extended design team is difficult due to many different CAD tools, reducing the ability to catch errors before prototype Generating consolidated ECAD and MCAD BOM s generally requires manual efforts and is time consuming and error prone. No ability for where-used Ability to confirm updates and communicating issues electronically is difficult. History is lost and escaping defects are missed early in the design cycle
Connecting ECAD Data to the Enterprise Design team collaboration at the project members desktop Both CAD and non-cad team members have access to what they want, when they want it
Workgroup Design Team Collaboration W H AT I T M E A N S Lifecycle Managed ECAD Data with secure centralized vaulting of the native design and derived content Automated Import of BOM files provides a consolidated source for the complete Electromechanical BOM Automated Visualization enables parallel team collaboration while the design is in progress Design Data Comparison for evaluating, managing and retaining a history of all project design changes Secure Sharing of Design Data with external partners W H Y I T M AT T E R S Right people with access to the Right versions of the Right data Easily locate and re-use designs Eliminate manual ECAD-MCAD BOM data entry errors On demand, online design reviews / reduces prototype spins Traceability during Partner Collaboration 1 Source: PTC survey of Electro-Mechanical Collaboration Seminar participants, January 2006
Automated BOM Structure Definition (EBOM) Creation/Updates of ECAD BOM from ECAD Schematic or PCB during check-in Automatically propagate Quantity, Part Name, Part Number etc. to WC ECAD driven BOM structure to generate full electromechanical BOM Variant and changed BOM comparison Remove dependency on spreadsheets and other manual entry methods BOM generation during ECAD check-in Native Altium schematic BOM structure in WC
Data Sharing and Collaboration Enables non-cad team members to view WiP designs Facilitates online Design reviews via Markups and Annotations Intelligent, crossdiscipline visual navigation/cross probing
Prevent Escaping Defects Object differences (attributes) Image differences (graphics) Multiple design abstractions Within an ECAD discipline Revs of a Schematic Revs of a Layout Revs of an Artwork Between ECAD disciplines Layout vs. Schematic Layout vs. Artwork Between ECAD and MCAD Layout vs. 3D Mechanical Assembly 14
