How DataSolid successfully implemented the CAD migration together with Elysium

From the multi-CAD landscape to the standardized NX platform

Many companies are faced with the challenge of consolidating their heterogeneous CAD landscapes. This involves transferring data from different 3D CAD systems - including parametric CAD systems such as CATIA®, SOLIDWORKS®, Creo®, Inventor® or Siemens' own solutions such as Solid Edge - to a standardized platform such as Siemens NX, loss-free, consistent and traceable.

For such a complex migration project, our partners relied on the expertise of DataSolid and Elysium. The aim was to reliably migrate millions of CAD data including metadata, versioning and model relationships.

The challenge

  • Different data structures and format versions
  • Heterogeneous metadata and reference links
  • Risk of loss of information, duplicates or unclear revisions
  • Ensuring data quality and traceability

Our approach

As a partner for CAD and data management solutions DataSolid the responsibility for:

  • Structural preparation of CAD data
  • Classification and quality inspection
  • Controlled validation

In close cooperation with Elysium, a new Automated migration pipeline, which:

  • CAD data from different sources standardized
  • validates geometries and receives linked metadata
  • Ensures a traceable, auditable migration to Siemens NX

The result

  • >95 % of CAD models migrated automatically
  • 30 % Faster change processes thanks to consistent data structure
  • Significantly reduced rework in engineering and release

Thanks to the close cooperation between DataSolid and Elysium a Scalable, valid database, which accelerates and simplifies everyday engineering work in the long term.

Conclusion

With this successful CAD migration, DataSolid demonstrates how technical migration, data quality and process stability can be efficiently combined. The basis has been created for a future-proof, standardized engineering platform.

In the next article, you will learn how DataSolid ensures data quality during migration and which validation mechanisms enable project success.
