Welcome to "Delivering on the Promise of PLM", RAND Worldwide's informative 5-part web seminar series highlighting the use of knowledge-based tools to optimize CATIA processes.
Formatted specifically for CATIA V5 management and end users, this online seminar series combines a presentation format rich with real world approaches to enhancing product development. Each seminar in the five part series provides a highly focused topic set presented by RAND's highly experienced PLM experts. After viewing all 5 parts in our series you will have the knowledge to:
- Make early modeling decisions to leverage design data for the future
- Streamline and standardize your FEA processes to optimize your designs
- Customize manufacturing set up and reporting to meet the specific needs of your plant
- Deliver targeted product information to audiences through standards such as XML
- Capture and reuse information for continuous product improvement
Seminars topics:
Part 1—Creating Knowledge-Based Designs |
Presented by Robert Garrison
|
| This session will demonstrate strategies for leveraging parametric and geometric relationships in CATIA V5 with an emphasis on the Common Knowledge tool set and an introduction to the use of VBScript. You will gain an understanding of how modeling decisions made in the earliest design stages can affect the ability to leverage design data downstream. |
