Agenda Overview of Aras CAD Data Management What Multi-CAD Means to Aras CAD Integration Partners and Connectors For More Information

CAD Data Management Business Drivers Copyright 2012 Aras. All Rights Reserved. Slide 4 CAD data is a key component of product design It drives a large percentage of enterprise product development However it tends not to be leveraged well across the organization because: Data is isolated in local workgroup managers Designers are wary of sharing data early Lack of effective workflow processes for co-design with multiple sites Competing ownership between Engineering and IT Unlocking CAD data for the enterprise is a key part of any PLM initiative CAD Design Analysis EBOM View & Markup Digital Mockup Virtual Prototyping CAM Tech Pubs Work Instructions

Aras CAD Data Management Aras CAD Data Management provides full CAD IP management within a PLM context, across a wide range of popular authoring tools. Complete CAD data management and change control Better control of intellectual property One single system for all engineering data Increased accuracy of design information CAD data participates in all PLM processes with full permission control Increased engineering efficiency for driving innovation

Key Business Processes CAD System 1 CAD Data Part BOM MCAD Software ECAD Aras Innovator 2 1 CAD data managed in Aras 3 2 Automated Part BOM updates from CAD 3 Enterprise change management with CAD data visibility

Application Framework Product Components Aras Innovator Solution CAD System CAD Integration Platform Solution Solution Database File Vault Partners Provide: Standard, documented CAD Connectors Based on CAD Integration Platform Configurable to meet customer processes Aras Provides: Standard, documented CAD Integration Platform Includes data model, APIs, and method code Guidelines and samples provided to partners Aras CAD Data Management utilizes product from both Aras and CAD integration partners

Aras Goals for CAD Integration Standardize the CAD Integration Platform Allow CAD integration partners to focus on what they do best Minimize the cost of developing integrations Allow connectors from different partners to play together well Support project-based custom connectors Focus on ease of installation and administration of connectors, to speed adoption and reduce cost to customers Provide customers with immediate out-of-the-box connector capability, with the ability to customize from there Build a successful CAD integration ecosystem to bring value to our customers

Working with CAD Connector Partners Aras provides guidance on: Aras terminology Use cases to support CAD Integration Platform details (data model, key properties, APIs, methods) Suggested connector functionality Product deliverables (installation, documentation, collateral, etc.) Sample code provided for key topics Partner value-add is: CAD system integration details User interface Consulting services CAD data loading Custom connectors

Multi-CAD means PRODUCT and PROCESS Standard CAD Integration Platform Full set of Connectors: Direct CAD, PDM, and ALM Both Standard and Custom Connectors Enterprise CAD data access Clear data ownership by discipline BOM update process automation from CAD, and manual Unified Part / CAD change process across disciplines Data exchange and digital mockup processes 30% of Aras CAD Integration Customers are Multi-CAD

Data Exchange & Digital Mockup Multi-CAD manage often involves: Data exchange for data conversion between CAD tools Digital mockup for combined CAD model visualization The CAD data model and business logic is extensible to handle the necessary files and processes Aras CAD Connector partners have decades of experience and consulting expertise Come back tomorrow for more on this topic!
