Software reduces product life cycle errors.

Press Release Summary:




ENOVIA Life Cycle Application v5.11 enables secure and error-free concurrent engineering with multiple design partners. Enhancements to SMARTEAM Bills-of-Material briefcase and CATIA Work Package Exchange include ability to analyze changes by comparing products at sub-assembly level, locate right data with product filtering capabilities, and manage complex changes with Engineering Change Management.



Original Press Release:



ENOVIA Life Cycle Applications V5.11 Improves Time to Market and Increases Efficiency



Overview

oENOVIA Life Cycle Applications (LCA) V5.11 further strengthens
product definition exchanges throughout the supply chain with
enhancements to the SMARTEAM -Bills-of-Material (BOM) briefcase and CATIA Work Package Exchange. It enables secure and error-free concurrent engineering implementation with multiple design partners.

oEnhancements in the Virtual Product Development Management(VPDM) domain with the following new announcements/capabilities:

-License migration offers from ENOVIAVPM to VPM V5 functionality in LCA

-Product comparison at the sub-assembly level: Analyze changes between two sub-assemblies or functional views (Generic Components (GCos)) using graph compare

-Query for clash and penetration request by zones

-CATIA Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) integration

-Enhanced support for piping and tubing components.

oThe ENOVIA-PPR Hub product has been renamed ENOVIA-Engineering Hub, which organizes product engineering knowledge using interoperability between the design authoring tools and the product data management tools. DELMIA has also renamed their
product, process, resource (PPR) products, now called Manufacturing Hub. It manages manufacturing process and resources. Together, the Engineering and Manufacturing hubs facilitate product, process, and resources throughout the entire product life cycle.

Additional Enhancements in Intellectual Property (IP) Life Cycle
& Management Domain

oPublish/Subscribe function - Create rules-based subscriptions
and define role-based publications

oProduct structure filtering by engineering changes (specific
Engineering Change Order (ECO), in-work or released structure)

oWorkflow Management enhanced with early work activation and
approval password validation

oSimplification of ECO effectivity management using common condition
