The document explains the roles of network servers and client workstations in product data management (PDM) solutions, emphasizing that PDM tools are used to manage and distribute engineering and technical data for product development. Client workstations access a central server database to search and manage documents related to engineering data, utilizing features for document preview and workflow management. Additionally, internet-based tools like the World Wide Web facilitate the distribution of engineering data across remote locations for global companies.

- 1. Explain the different roles the network server and client workstations play in product data management (PDM) Solution Product Data Management (PDM) is the name given to specific computer-based tools and processes used to manage engineering and technical data associated with the product development process. Networked computer systems are used to manage and distribute the PDM database information. Individuals working at CAD workstations (the clients) can access the database located on a central server through the network. The client software allows the user to search for documents by database fields such as the part name, file name, who created the data, or the last date revised. The software usually provides a viewer for previewing the selected document. The PDM system provides tools to update, manage, and secure engineering data. In addition, the system typically provides some means of managing the workflow of design information.Wide area network tools on the Internet such as the World Wide Web are being used to distribute and manage engineering data among re mote locations of global companies.
