Compass-3D PLM component

2017: Compass-3D v.2016.102.2.1 PLM component

On February 8, 2017 the APPIUS company announced release of updating of the version of a PLM component for KOMPAS-3D CAD system No. 2016.102.2.1. The version of a PLM component is intended for integration with a management system for engineering data of Appius company.

A number of functions of loading is added to functionality of a PLM component:

• possibility of automatic grouping of structure of a product;
• possibility of loading of positions from files of the associative specification.

Automatic grouping and loading of positions are available when installing corresponding "flags" in a settings window. Loading of positions is available from the internal COMPASS specification and also from the model of the specification saved in the separate file. Created with during the work with the specification created automatically on a 3D model, its file is loaded into a system together with the file of model within the active document "Active Document COMPASS (Assembly)".

In the version the possibility of selection of material for 3D models of parts from the design-technology reference book appeared. When loading materials from KTS values of density are also transmitted to KOMPAS for a possibility of calculation of mass of a part.

When loading the record format of the name of material for a further output in the form of fraction in the main text of the drawing is considered.

The version of a PLM component for the KOMPAS-3D CAD system is available to loading on the website of Appius company within the agreement on the operating technical support.

2010: Compass-3D PLM component

APPIUS company, the developer of complete solutions on product lifecycle management (PLM), announced in May, 2010 the beginning of sales of a PLM component to the Compass-3D for a system "1C:PDM Management of engineering data" (1C:PDM). The new component will allow the designer to work effectively with a system 1C:PDM of the environment of three-dimensional solid modeling the Compass-3D. The PLM component allows:

• to automatically distinguish designation and the name of products and drawings;
• to automatically import parameters from models and drawings;
• import new models to 1C:PDM with creation of electronic structure of a product and documents;
• carry out collective work with models and drawings of several designers;
• work with library of standard products;
• provide synchronization of electronic structure of a product with a 3D model;
• save changes with automatic creation of new document revisions and products.

The PLM component is implemented as the connected module to the Compass-3D system. From its help it is possible to create with ease structure of a product in a 1C system: PDM. At the same time a system will automatically recognize designation and the name of new products, imports parameters and will create necessary documents. Use of digital identification codes during the work with models allows to reduce network traffic and to transfer only the changed models. Interaction about the Compass-3D is performed without the need for use of working directories! It simplifies work of the user and allows it not to care for preserving of local copies of models. The model once placed in 1C:PDM stores information on the placement in a system that allows by transfer of model to supplier with ease to reflect the changes which are carried out by the last in own electronic structure 1C:PDM.

Use of a PLM component allows to reduce primary design data entry in system 1C:PDM to 90%. The subsequent updating of data reaches 99%. When using a PLM component design data are automatically normalized, i.e. duplication of the used documents at different users is excluded.
