PLM Tech Talk Blog
This is a second look at the hidden intelligence of CATIA V5. Our topic today will focus on the creation and use of design tables. As I talked about in my last blog post, parameters and formulas can be used to drive your design from the specification tree based on your design intent. We will continue on using the rectangular tubing

This post was originally created on December 8, 2016. With all the buzz about Additive Manufacturing, or 3D Printing, in the manufacturing world today, there is a lot of mystery and confusion surrounding common practices and techniques. This week’s blog post will address a common type of 3D printing known as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). But first, What is Additive Manufacturing? Additive
Read moreI mentioned the process automation concept of ISight in a previous simulation automation blog. ISight is an open source code simulation automation and parametric optimization tool to create workflows that automate the repetitive process of model update and job submission with certain objectives associated with it. The objective could be achievement of an optimal design through any of the available

Watch and learn as i GET IT subject matter expert Eric Bansen walks through the Context Toolbar feature in CATIA V6 2016X 3D Experience. The Context Toolbar feature allows you to create and manipulate geometry with in your part model. This session is a great for those who are currently learning or want to know more about CATIA V6 2016X
Read moreIf you are in the business of designing and engineering product, then you have PLM. This is a statement of fact. The question then becomes: what is the technology underpinning the PLM process that is used to control your designs? Because of the way that technology changes and matures, most organizations have a collection of software and processes that support
Read moreFor many years, finite element modeling has been the job of a specialist; the tools used to perform even simple finite element analysis have been complex enough to require a subject matter expert. This is primarily due to the complex, difficult to understand graphical user interfaces of these products. The job is made further difficult to perform due to the
Read moreMy last post outlined on deriving more value out of PLM data through reports. The complexity of data in the engineering environment is skyrocketing, and Teamcenter as a PLM system provides advanced reporting capabilities for enterprise data, including the data managed in external systems like MRP & ERP. The Teamcenter Report Builder application provides basic reporting capabilities for data managed
Read moreLet’s review the role of the Item Master in managing components and all of the relevant documentation in Autodesk Vault. There are three main uses for the Item Master in Vault: Container for all relevant documentation – Items as a concept in Vault are really nothing more than a container for all the relevant documentation related to a component. This
