The Global Product Data Interoperability Summit will be held at Arizona Golf Resort, Hotel and Conference Center, in Mesa, Arizona in November 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th 2009. Capvidia will address the problems of CAD Model Validation in the Product Life Cycle Management. 

Maintaining CAD data integrity through the entire Product Life Cycle Management  process requires specialized procedures and tools. It is a well accepted fact that CAD data can change in the process of translation between different CAD systems. Controlling those changes and signaling potential integrity loss is a major challenge for the industry today. Quality standards call for installation of traceable procedures allowing verification of the 3D digital content at different product life cycle phases: design, engineering, manufacturing, data exchange with suppliers and finally archiving and documentation.  

Correct Translation of Complex Automotive Data Provided by FormatWorks

Leuven, Belgium, September 11, 2009 – FormatWorks data translation and repair software is helping River Consulting, LLC design material handling for automotive glass by drastically reducing time and costs by solving their data translation problems with SolidWorks.  With the help of FormatWorks, River is now able to offer new products and services for the design glass presses.

"The coupled Abaqus-FlowVision simulation mimics exactly the physics and experimental setup, giving faster results at significantly lower cost."

This case study has been prepared in cooperation with Abaqus. For more information see Dassault Systèmes Realistic Simulation Magazine "Insights", II/2009, published at Simulia official web-site.
