Data Sheet PTC* Windchill* Workgroup Manager for CAT I A* V5 Delivering the Power and Benefits of PTC Windchill to the CAT IA V5 Environment Designers can now perform everyday design tasks in their familiar MCAD environment while using PTC Windchill to manage CATIA V5 data throughout its lifecycle. Managing CATIA V5 data within PTC Windchill allows you to capture and control your design information within a single enterprise environment, manage the data undera single product structure, and easily leverage that information across the extended organization in a controlled manner. Improve collaboration • Fully incorporate the use of CATIA V5 data in product development processes that span multiple organizations • Extend the sharing of design data beyond engineer- ing, departmental and corporate boundaries using standard Internet technology Improve data quality • Eliminate mistakes associated with duplicate or incomplete data by managing data from multiple MCAD and ECAD/EDA systems in a single, con- trolled location underthe umbrella of a single product structure • Centralize the management of business processes, such as change control • Provide all relevant groups with accurate, up-to- date, product content information that's held in a single location Improve engineer productivity • Increase operating efficiency by reusing design data and reducing the number of design steps • Embed PTC Windchill actions within the CATIA V5 application, enabling designers to focus on design activities ratherthan data management • Minimize engineer interruptions by utilizing back- ground processes to upload files to PTC Windchill, thus allowing designers to continue using CATIA V5 without having to wait for database actions I Insert Tools Analyze Window I Open from Windchill...

Data Sheet Increase enterprise efficiency • Reduce the number of product development systems by having one system that can manage multiple sources of data (e.g., different CAD and documentation formats) • Enforce standard design processes across multiple design projects and organization Features Support key CATIA V5 data and features • Store the different CATIA V5 file types: Parts (.CATPart), Assemblies (.CATProduct), Drawings (.CATDrawing), Catalogs (.Catalog), Manufacturing Processes (.CATProcess) and Simulation/Analysis (.CATAnalysis) in PTC Windchill and recognize that these files were authored...

Data Sheet • Eliminate BOM redundancy and errors by synchronizing the enterprise BOM with the CATIA V5 structure • Allow CATIA V5 data to be part of an enterprise BOM structure that can contain data from many different CAD systems • Enable version control of CATIA V5 data to record complete traceability of changes and design development • Enable concurrent development, as PTC Windchill can track all related activities and convey that information to other members of the design team • Utilize status icons to quickly inform CATIA V5 designers and other users about the condition of CATIA V5 data...
