PDM Workbench for Aras Innovator THE IMMERSIVE PDM INTEGRATION FOR CATIA V5
PDM Workbench integrates
CATIA V5 into Aras Innovator
As Connector: cares about data and files
As Integration: cares about processes
The PDM WORKBENCH is a comprehensive
PDM Rich Client seamlessly integrated in CATIA V5.
It enables access to and full control of CATIA data via PDM.
CAD specific PDM functionality in CATIA V5 enabling design engineers to stay in CATIA only.
CATIA V5 look and feel by using standard CAA framework.
Allows the use of a customized data model.
PDM Workbench features can be tailored by simply editing schema files.
Tree navigation and list view.
Display and modification of PDM properties via dialogs.
Identification of nodes, display of access rights.
Supports multi byte character environments. 11/29/2017 6 PDC PLM / PDM Workbench for Aras Innovator

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 Revised,
Current

CAD Document Structure Mode Relationships
Instances of the CATIA V5 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, position matrix, instance description

CAD Document Structure Mode Versioning
CAD Document structure is defined as “Hard Fixed” behavior. This means that the parent-child references in the structure
remain as they were originally defined, until explicitly changed by the CAD Connector. The benefits of this approach are:
All saved versions can be retrieved in exactly the state in which they were saved. (“As Saved”).
The CAD Connector can explicitly switch to the newest version (“Current”) … or to the last released version (“Released”).
These actions can be performed on all levels of the product structure.
