How non-CAD users can stay connected to all the stakeholders in an organization?

Design and manufacturing companies typically consist of multiple CAD, CAE and CAM applications. It is often a challenge for the managers and other team members who don’t have direct access to these applications to view, review and have discussions on design modifications with stakeholders across the organization.

Non-CAD users face multiple hurdles in order to stay connected. Some of them are listed below:

1. Difficulty to access the updated information each and every time
2. Effective communication with stakeholders
3. Accessing the right data anywhere and anytime
4. Connect different stakeholders and review designs on the fly if the organization is in a multi-CAD environment
5. Communication with respect to new concept designs is difficult without CAD environment

Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE web user interface – Platform Contributor (PCS) role addresses these challenges. Some of the benefits of the role is listed below:

1. Manage and collaborate the data in real time on Cloud
2. Store, share, search, manage, view, review, compare, navigate the 3D content and documents in the web interface itself
3. Latest web browser and a good internet bandwidth is good enough to access the application
4. Access multi-CAD data
5. Perform basic change management and project management
6. Save time and minimize errors using PLM approach to ensure cross-functional teams are always working with the recent updated versions of the design
7. Quickly review and validate designs with 3D visualization, markup and geometric analysis tools for 3D comparison, measurements and sectioning

There are two configurations in Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXEPRIENCE platform. They are Collaborative Business Innovator and Collaborative Industry Innovator. These configurations are explained in brief in the below infographics.
