Overview of Basic 3 D Experience Enovia V

Overview of Basic 3 D Experience (Enovia V 6) Concepts Marc Young x. LM Solutions www. xlmsolutions. com

Agenda • • • Architecture Type and Policy Routes State Workspaces GCO E-Bom Sync Security Conclusion

Modules • Designer Central (CAD Integrations) » VPLM • • • Engineering Central (BOM, ECR/ECO) Project Central Library Central Accelerators…. …

Architecture • • 3 Tier Web based client Operating systems: Windows, Unix, Linux Supported Databases: Oracle, SQL Server, DB 2 » • • • No database replication Supported Web Servers: Apache Tomcat, Web. Spere, Web. Logic Supports only Store* replication Customizations – Java Based In Enovia V 6 terminology a ‘Store’ is equivalent to a Vault in other PLM systems Vault in Enovia V 6 terminology is equivalent to a database

Schema vs Business Objects • Schema are the Administrative Objects that control the look, feel, behavior of the system » Types, Relationships, Commands, Tables, Web. Forms, … • Business Objects are the actual data that is created in Enovia. » EC Part, Catia Drawing, Relationship between Part and Drawing » Business Objects can have a “Type” which will drive the behavior of the object » Type, Name and Revision are the unique identifiers

Type and Policy • Type » » » Fields (Attributes) Card Design Triggers Sub Types (inheritance) Maybe related to more than one policy • Policy » Security » Revision » Lifecycle States ‑ Branching » Store » Triggers

Routes, States, Change Request, Change Order, Change Action • Routes can be based on a template or be ad-hoc » Create your own flowchart • States can be customized but usually based on out of the box templates • Change Request, Change Order, Change Action are Types that represent the Engineering Change » V 6 has built in functionality and security around these objects

States • States can be configurable » Not recommended to change out of the box states » Driven by the object’s Policy • Objects will traverse through it states » Moving forward is called move forward or backwards “Promoting” » Moving backward is called “Demoting” • Security is set by state • Triggers » can be place on promote to demote to make various check have happened before a promote or demote

Routes • • Routes can be created Ad-hoc / Route Template Routes can be used to define dynamic workflows Route Tasks are actionable items in V 6 – which can be configured for escalations past due date Routes are used to have multiple people review and ‘sign off’ on the data with route completion as one of the following » Promote object to next state » Notify route owner • Route Tasks can be » Parallel or Series » Mandatory or Optional » Review or Approval • Groups, Roles or Users can be associated to the task in the route

Engineering Change • Change Request (CR) » Ability for user to request a change to an object in the system • Change Order (CO) » Process that defines, evaluates, and implements a change » Change order has a lifecycle for evaluation and implementation phases » When a change order is created, a change action is automatically generated and connected to the change order. • Change Action (CA) » Change actions cannot be created manually » Change action (CA) generation occurs from the change order's affected items. » Technical Assignee (i. e. Design Engineer) is assigned to the Change Action to make the change

Workspaces • Way to group data in V 6 • Can have sub workspaces and sub folders • Security can be applied to any level in the Workspace structure • Mostly used with CAD Integration / managing documents

GCO • GCO performs the same operations but more • Multiple GCO can exist and are tied to a users role • Derived file formats • Check out and locking behaviors • LCO object available to set user specific integration behaviors

E-Bom Sync • E-BOM Sync used to take Document Structure to Item Structure • Items set as specification link (can be model and or drawing) • Configurable via the GCO and JPO » Collapse links / quantity ‑ 4 wheels on a car » Default Part Type ‑ EC or Dev Part » Part Name / Number Driver ‑ CAD Model Name, auto number, … » Floating Links

Security • Security Context » Organization, Collaborative Space and Role • State, Type, Group or Role » Filter based i. e if an Attribute = certain value • Routes • Workspace » Folders • Owner

User Interface Schema • There are 6 main types of UI Schema: » » Commands – User triggered action Menus – Collection of Commands Webforms – Shows attributes of an object Tables – Similar to forms…i. e. relationships » Channels » Portals – Multiple Channels make up a portal

Triggers • Please to add custom code to the system • 3 Types » Check – Before the action occurs » Action – After the action occurs » Override – instead of the action occurring

Administration • Business Legacy tool for administration • Property Files • JPOs

Migration Methods, Technologies & Tools • Manual » » • Automated » » » • JPOs, MQL and Tcl scripts - Requires comprehensive understanding of both source and target systems data model and possible source system APIs Strongly recommended to break it down to two steps (exportimport), especially for large data sets (more than 10000 files or so) Uses V 6 API – slower migration ENOVIA V 6 Adaplet - Partially Automated – several automated steps to extract and later import the data into ENOVIA » » • Good for small data set – Lengthy process No support for full history migration Requires comprehensive understanding of both source and target systems data model and possible source system APIs and SQL knowledge Direct DB updates methodology – fast Spinner - Partially Automated » » Requires comprehensive understanding of both source and target systems data model and the Spinner tool itself Data needs to be programmatically extracted into spinner Additional fee Uses V 6 API – slower migration

Conclusion • PLM Concepts are the same across various PLM systems • 3 D Experience is a great platform to map your business process to • Do not be over whelmed we are here to help you
