develops internationally recognized standards for vendor-independent and cross-system object-oriented programming. The OMG consortium - Object Management Group, Inc. NAFEMS - National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards - is a not-for-profit organization promoting the effective use of engineering simulation methods.
The aim of the association is to develop smart products and services as well as to advance a linked production and its associated production systems throughout the entire product life cycle to enable a continuous digital added value.
The research association “Forschungsvereinigung Smart Engineering e.V.” is an association for the support of science and research as well as education in the field of smart engineering. The organization supports the further development of the PDF/E and PRC standards.
The 3D PDF Consortium comprises Adobe, Tetra 4D, Tech Soft 3D, PROSTEP and a number of other companies. Additional connectivity is available on request. OpenPDM offers ready-made standard connectors for the following systems among others.
Even if PROSTEP still does not offer a standard connector, a connection to a project can be created quickly and easily with the OpenPDM Connector Template. In general, OpenPDM can connect all systems that provide a defined interface. Today OpenPDM connects all PLM domains including design, production planning, simulation, after sales, procurement and more at customers in automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, shipbuilding, consumer goods, transportation, medical devices and many more. The first release of OpenPDM was used more than 20 years ago by our customers to synchronise automatically PDM information between different PDM systems at automotive OEMs.
The continuous updates to the software ensure that the manufacturing companies of the modern world are able to enhance the efficiency and productivity of their manufacturing processes.OpenPDM is the leading solution worldwide for synchronisation and migration of PLM information in many different application scenarios and domains – always optimally adapted to your PLM processes. As compared to the first few versions, the latest version is a complete overhaul of the system architecture so that the software complies with the latest requirements of today’s industries. Since then, the software has seen a lot of updates. Windchill has first introduced into the market 19 years ago. Moreover, the inbuilt search algorithm of Windchill ensures that the users get the required information without much hassle. The users can now configure the interface and select their own modules or tools which they frequently use, to appear on the interface.Īlong with the better user experience, Windchill provides in-depth product-related data such as technical product information, CAD models, documents, calculated product specifications and illustrations to help manufacturers dig more into authentic sources of information with ease. A lot has changed since then, especially in its 10th edition, Windchill has made it sure that the users find the interface and more personalized and customizable. When PTC first acquired Windchill back in 1998, many users complained about the lack of user-friendliness of the interface. Here are some of the main benefits commonly associated to using PTC Windchill:
