Collaborative Engineering

1
Collaborative Engineering

• Engineers are increasingly having access to
  next-generation CAE systems. They are grappling
  with how, when and where to properly use these
  tools in the design cycle.
• How can we achieve a synergistic integration of
  the Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tools?
• It is not practical to expect an engineer to have
  expertise in many different CAE systems. How can
  we bring an individuals expertise with a
  specific CAE system into a collaborative,
  distributed engineering environment?

Collaborative Virtual Design

• Multi-System Integration - Pro/E, Jack,
  dV/Mockup, VRS, Pro/Manufacture, PDM/EIM systems,
  custom software, etc.
• Multi-Platform - Windows-NT, SGI, HP
• Multi-User - multiple simultaneous users
• Multi-Level - different hardware and software
  capabilities
• Allow experts to provide support from remote
  locations
• Currently being deployed for use by design
