How can I handle multiple-level assemblies?
CMI enables you to manage CATIA data and multiple-level
assemblies simultaneously, extending your existing CATIA functionality
by features like relative positioning, consistent handling of multiple
part occurrences, etc. Please refer to the "CMI White Paper"
for an overview of the most valuable CMI features.
What is changed with the handling of CATIA Data by using CMI?
No need to access to the filesystem anymore.
Multiple levels possible (with additional translations / rotations).
What main benefits does the engineer have by using CMI?
The engineer can already use the product structure to
add (or remove) multiple CATIA models with very simple (and logical) actions.
Also CATIA data ist under PDM system control that means: no reader-writer
problem and proper life-cycle handling.
What happens to the exisiting CATIA data?
The already existing data has to be transfered into work
and vault locations. After that it has to be registered as a CATIA-model
in the database and inserted into the product structure. The content
of the file is not changed at all.
