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.
As a partner for CAD and data management solutions DataSolid the responsibility for:
In close cooperation with Elysium, a new Automated migration pipeline, which:
Thanks to the close cooperation between DataSolid and Elysium a Scalable, valid database, which accelerates and simplifies everyday engineering work in the long term.
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.


We will guide you step by step through the migration to Siemens NX - part 2 will be online soon.
