From the multi-CAD landscape to the standardized NX platform<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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\u00ae, SOLIDWORKS\u00ae, Creo\u00ae, Inventor\u00ae or Siemens' own solutions such as Solid Edge - to a standardized platform such as Siemens NX, loss-free, consistent and traceable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The challenge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Different data structures and format versions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Heterogeneous metadata and reference links<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Risk of loss of information, duplicates or unclear revisions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ensuring data quality and traceability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Our approach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    As a partner for CAD and data management solutions DataSolid<\/strong> the responsibility for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Structural preparation of CAD data<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Classification and quality inspection<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Controlled validation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      In close cooperation with Elysium, a new Automated migration pipeline<\/strong>, which:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • CAD data from different sources standardized<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • validates geometries and receives linked metadata<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Ensures a traceable, auditable migration to Siemens NX<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        The result<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • >95 % of CAD models migrated automatically<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • 30 % Faster change processes thanks to consistent data structure<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Significantly reduced rework in engineering and release<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Thanks to the close cooperation between DataSolid<\/strong> and Elysium<\/strong> a Scalable, valid database<\/strong>, which accelerates and simplifies everyday engineering work in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
