• Enables Aras Innovator as collaborative platform for designers

• Access to design is controlled by Aras Innovator

• The PDM workbench in CATIA/NX offers advanced PDM capabilities

• CAD files are managed in the context of PDM product structures (BOM and CAD)

• The integration can be tailored by configuration and customization

• Supports customized data models.

Treatment of Structures – Fixed and Float behavior

As default Part BOM relationships are Float.

• As long as the parent Part is not Frozen (e.g. Released) new child version will be assembled automatically

• The Part BOM structure is always “Current”

As default the CAD Structure relationship is Fixed.

• The CAD Structure will stay “As Saved”

• New child versions are not assembled

• Different load options are available: As Saved, Latest Released, Current

CAD Document Structure ModeRelationships

Instances of the CAD product structure are mapped to CAD Structure relationships and CAD Instances

• CAD Structure is a singe relationship between a specific CAD Document (Assembly) and a specific child CAD Document

• CAD Structure manages all instances of this specific child part by CAD Instances

• A CAD Instance holds all information about a specific CATIA Instance, like instance name and position matrix


CAD Document Structure ModeFixed [CAD Structure] relationship behavior

• The [CAD Structure] relationship does not move. It points to the first child-CAD generation when it was created.

• The CAD integration has three options to select a child-CAD: “As Saved”: as linked in the data base, “Current”: the newest child-CAD Generation and “Released”: the latest child-CAD with status Released.

• A new revision of the Parent CAD inherits the [CAD Structure] relationship (4).

• If stored in context with PWB Update the [CAD Structure] relationship is updated to the current child-CAD Generation (5).

CAD / Engineering Super-BOM

BOM Part Structure Mode



The PWB CAD integration directly connects the CAD to the Engineering BOM

This puts the design process in the right context and make it transparent for PDM

• BOM Synchronization is not required. Thus, no complex BOM Sync business logic must be implemented.

• Changes in the E-BOM don’t have to be ported to a CAD structure

• CAD structures are not required. CAD is completely managed in the context of the Part BOM and BOM Instances

• CAD design can directly be steered by Change Management as CM deals with Parts

• Design can be started top-down from PLM to CAD by definition of the E-BOM

• Configuration Filter can be applied to CAD Product Structures

• Design flexibility: Multiple CAD can be attached to one Part

• The majority of processes can run on Part-level, this simplifies any customization

• A Part BOM can be visualized with built-in and external viewers

How CAD and BOM can be distinguished

• BOM Parts and CAD-only Parts are distinguishable by classification

• Part Classifications that are not configured for the CAD Integration (PWB) won’t be expanded or loaded in CAD

• CAD Part Classifications will be ignored by E-BOM management

• A dedicated BOM Structure Classification can be used for CAD-relevant structures

• Only BOM Structure of the configured Classification will be expanded and can be loaded into the CAD-system



PWB CAD integration provides a unique set of functionality to support E-BOM controlled design

The solution supports best practice use cases from aerospace, defense and automotive industry

• Direct creation of E-BOM structures from CAD

• Auto-population of PDM master-structures (PLM to CAD)

• Combined Part and CAD creation dialogs with fetching of Part Numbers

• Interactive selection of Part Classifications for new design

• Standard Parts management

• Mapping of Part properties to CAD and back.

• Part BOM Quantity update

• Flexible Assembly Management

• Proximity filtering for Part structures

• Apply configurations in CAD



CAD / Engineering Super-BOMFixed [Part CAD] relationship behavior

• The [Part CAD] relationship always points to the first CAD generation.

• The CAD integration always loads the ”current” CAD or the first released CAD that can be found starting from the CAD generation that is linked by the [Part CAD] relationship case (3)

• The newest CAD Generation can be deleted but only if not Released and if not referenced by any relationship.

CAD / Engineering Super-BOMFloat [Part BOM] relationship behavior

• A new Revision of a parent Part will point to the same child-Parts (3)

• Except if the parent Part is released the Part BOM floats to the last Part Generation of the child-Parts (4, 5 and 6).

• The CAD connector always follows the (floating) Part BOM relationship - as it is stored in the data base.

BOM Part Structure ModeRelationships

Instances of the CAD product structure are mapped to Part BOM relationships and BOM Instance

• Part BOM is a singe relationship between a parent Part (Assembly) and a child Part (Component/Assembly)

• Part BOM has a Quantity attribute to count the number of instances

• Part BOM manages all instances of a specific child part by a set of BOM Instances

• A BOM Instance holds all information about a specific CATIA Instance, like instance name and position matrix


Generations and RevisionsUnified Part / CAD Change Process

• Each Generation is a new object in the Aras Innovator

• If a generation is overwritten (file or attributes) previous information is lost

• Generations document the change of an object over the time

• A Revise action will create a new Generation
