Abstract
Projects needs the participation of a pool of companies that have to collaborate in a multidisciplinary and integrated way following a defined PLM strategy. One of the main leverages to achieve this aim is enabling a new business paradigm through pervasive 3D (3 dimensions) to support activities from engineering, manufacturing, operations, and in-service domains. Nowadays, products can be designed, simulated, and validated directly in the virtual domain with the help of computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), and Digital manufacturing software using 3D interaction and simulation. This new approach adds to traditional product data management (PDM) systems new functionalities to explicitly manage products, processes, and resource objects, as well as the relationships between them, according to configuration and effectiveness. This paper will illustrate methods and tools deployed within Alenia Aeronautica and Ansaldo Energia projects, companies of Finmeccanica.
