3D visualisation needs for CAD and PDM
1 like256 views
This presentation discusses 3D visualization needs for computer-aided design (CAD) and product data management (PDM) systems to support digital collaboration. It addresses how to achieve interoperability between CAD and PDM applications across networked organizations. The presentation notes the importance of open standards for data exchange and outlines current standardization initiatives for 3D formats. It also discusses issues regarding implementing standards and integrating emerging 3D web technologies to preserve legacy systems while enabling new business scenarios.

- 5. Presentation at 16th International Conference on 3D Web technologies, 21st of June 2011 Addressed problematic – How to achieve “pragmatic” and continuous interoperability between PDM and CAD applications in order to support digital collaboration within networked organizations in an evolving global environment? – How to take advantage of existing and relevant standards, interoperability tools, emerging technologies and paradigms, and to combine them? – How to define an overall framework allowing to achieve targeted interoperability for an eBusiness ecosystem, building a collaborative infrastructure and mature composite community?
- 6. Presentation at 16th International Conference on 3D Web technologies, 21st of June 2011 Needs of Information exchange & communication • Automate to People – In particular drawing and visual representations – For different mathematical models and physics – For different purposes • Automate to Automate – Formal representation allowing to · An automate to obtain same visual representation · Enrich the drawing with Product Information - Tolerance Data - Product Components and their relationship • Static or dynamic (growing importance of simulation)
- 7. Presentation at 16th International Conference on 3D Web technologies, 21st of June 2011 Importance of open standards • Open standards – Defined at Standardization organizational level – Open for specification, development and access – Not a proprietary de facto standard • Strategic Importance – Business enabler – In order to preserve investment – In order to be able to collaborate at an acceptable price, within an industrial global environment • In order to respond to Business Constraints – Product Data exchange, sharing and long term retention – Certification of 3D models as contractual models of reference – Traceability…
- 8. Presentation at 16th International Conference on 3D Web technologies, 21st of June 2011 Current standardization initiatives • Proprietary formats pushed as standards – JT · PAS at ISO SC4 TC184 - done · New version of JT as ISO standard – under development – COLLADA · PAS at ISO SC4 TC184 – running – 3D XML? • Open standards – ISO STEP (10303) · Geometry Integrated resources - 2D, 3D, meshes, - Links with Product Data, such as GD&T · Current projects - PMI, tessellated data
- 9. Presentation at 16th International Conference on 3D Web technologies, 21st of June 2011 Issues • Global coherency of overlapping/complementary standards • Availability of implementations, support by Software providers • Heterogeneous Interoperability maturity level of the concerned stakeholders and communities • Standard easy or difficult to implement <= direct impact on standard maturity level • Impact of the emerging 3D Web Technologies – Maturity level and support of Business Scenarios – Preservation of the legacy

- 11. Presentation at 16th International Conference on 3D Web technologies, 21st of June 2011 About authors • Nicolas Figay is an expert in the area of Information Technologies , in EADS Innovation Works (the new name of the former EADS Corporate Research Centre).He is involved in research and industrial projects dealing with PLM Enterprise Applications Interoperability and Data Exchange, to support collaboration within Extended and Virtual Enterprises. He has been involved in research projects dealing with usage of STEP (RISESTEP, SAVE) and interoperability of enterprise application (IDEAS FP5 Roadmap, ATHENA FP6 Program, OpenDevFactory). He is currently involved in several Aerospace & Defense industrial projects (EADS Phenix, SEINE, BoostaAerospace) as standard expert, but also as a dissemination expert who at the same time collects emerging needs and challenges, in order to produce accurate specifications for starting research projects such as CRESCENDO. At the same time, he is involved in standardization activities (AFNOR IDMI and CN DSTI - French counterpart of ISO TC4 SC184 - , ASD Strategic Standardization Group and EADS Strategic Standardization Committee. Finally, he’s also teaching at I.T.I.N. (Institut des Techniques Informatique) for a course dedicated to interoperability of enterprise application, based on usage of both manufacturing standards and ICT standards. • Jean Brangé
