Design Express resolves the most basic PDM challengesfacing the CATIA Design Team 2.1
1 You need to store, structure and secure your product data
2 You need to keep track of changes to documents through revisions and maturity
3 You need to efficiently search for and quickly find the right data within its context
4 You need to enable the design team to share documents in a controlled manner
5 You need your designers to reuse standard parts and designs
6 You need to view various data formats without their native applications

1 Store, structure and secure your data
Store: Collect and store all product-related data on a single, secure server.
Structure: Organise the documents in standardized way, using categories such as projects, customers, users, etc. to create one homogeneous filing system for everyone, replacing the standard Windows directory structure.
Secure: Data is only accessed via a login ID and password-protected connection, stored on a server with security functions and with an automated tape back-up process.

1 Securing and structuring valuable product knowledge
Challenge: As the volume of unwieldy CATIA data, complete with assemblies, parts, dependencies, references, links, etc. grows, the data becomes very unmanageable
Solution: SDE offers a pre-configured data model that structures the access to your CATIA data, replacing the standard Windows file directory with a product tree, profile cards, queries and wizards that guide users to find any CATIA object they need, any time
Benefits: Speeds access to product knowledge, spurring innovation
reduces file administration headaches, lowering cost of maintenance
reduces file loss and duplication, saving IT resources and reducing errors
“We needed a tool to manage a wide range of information concerning product structures and relationships between parts ... because of the huge amount of data involved in our 500 product lines, some of the most complex of which contain up to 2,000 components…. there’s an incalculable gain in efficiency when data is entered once and reused many times.” Alec Gil, Engineering Manager, S&C Electric, USA

2 Tracking revisions, versions and product history
Challenge: Reuse of parts in different products and projects usually requires modifications. The more complex the assembly, the more difficult to trace modifications. When multiple designers access the same files, tracing becomes even more problematic.
Functionality: Checking each revision of a document into the vault enables designers to easily retrace steps to find the exact version needed.
Benefits: Full visibility into design processes
Avoid errors caused by using wrong revision
Comply with standards requiring product history
“With SmarTeam production personnel access only the most current design versions, incorrect revisions can no longer get to the shop floor... Departments can collaborate to develop innovative designs and optimize their manufacture.” – Jason Lindgren, Project Manager, Sub-Zero Freezer Co., USA

3 Efficiently search for the right data within context
Search by attribute; saved searches
Click once to see in which assemblies a design part has been usedFind out via a product or part search if a 3D design exists Quickly locate all documents associated with any project.Search by relations between data, for example, to find a specification document via its relation to a 3D or 2D design, or a new part design via its relation to a price quotation

3 Efficient search mechanisms show data in context
Challenge: As data accumulates and file names are similar, it becomes problematic and time-consuming to find any given design by its file name
Functionality: Advanced keyword and text search and query mechanisms allow designers to find exactly what they need, and in full design context, allowing them to better evaluate if the file located is the most relevant to their needs
Benefits:Save valuable time consumed in file administration
Avoid redundant design through quicker location of existing files
“Users can search and find parts, configurations, drawings and assemblies by any attribute, such as revision, drawing name, description, drawing number, part number, etc. The software tracks where-used and composed-of relationships automatically, making it easy to determine where a certain part can be found within different assemblies…” Jim Farrell, Lord Corporation, USA – industrial components manufacturer

Protect the work of all members of the team; information is not overwritten, so each modification can be tracked individually.Audit the system to see who performed which change at what timeSafely access the same document concurrently without modifying the original - when one user owns a document for editing, others can only use it in view mode.
4 Controlled sharing of documents by multiple users

4 Collaborative Design Management
Challenge: Designers collaborating on a shared data set cannot concentrate on pure design tasks if they need to worry about other users accidentally erasing or changing their work through inadequate mechanisms to control the collaboration
Functionality: Lifecycle mechanisms give designers visibility into each design’s status and detailed records of each revision, enabling them to confidently work concurrently on the same files
Benefits: Drive innovation through meeting of
mindsRaise productivity through efficient
allocation of design resourcesReduce bottlenecks via better
visibility into joint design tasks
”We work as a team using a number of linked CATIA V5 models and associated design tools to ensure designs adhere to defined rules ... the latest project data is easily available to all engineers employed on the project, thereby ensuring that engineers are not working in isolation; they have full visibility of all design changes as they happen.” Darren Caines, Integral Powertrain, automotive engineering firm, UK

5 Promote the reuse of standards and existing data
Promote and support the mandatory use of standard documents (purchased parts or designs) and ensure their correct use with no duplications or non-traceable changes in design
Reduce the number of duplications of similar parts to minimize stocks and enforce sourcing policies
Encourage the use of copies of existing product as starting points for new designs, eliminating duplication of designs in multiple projects.

5 Promoting Part Standardization and Design Reuse
Challenge: If designers are free to select any parts or components, especially purchased components, the company will stock low volume of wide range of parts, causing inventory and pricing problems; starting new design projects from scratch expends valuable design resources on redundant work
Functionality:Designation of standard or “master” parts for common components; use of “design copy” to jump-start new projects with proven, existing designs that can be innovatively modified to meet new requirements
Benefits: Reduce inventory overhead and
delays due to inefficient sourcingSpeed time to market and drive
innovation by reusing existing designs
“Using (SmarTeam) to archive files also can reduce part counts and associated costs by facilitating design standardization procedures that uncover slight variations in multiple components where a single configuration would suffice. (It) greatly improves our ability to manage part configurations.“ Swagelok, USA –industrial components manufacturer (valves)

6 View Various Data Formats without Native Applications
Challenge: Designers prefer to stay inside the design workspace and to avoid devoting time and memory resources to view documents related to design that require them to open additional applications
“It is important for us to give access to our clients in order for them to visualize their projects in real time, and observe the progress, while securing the data and maintaining confidentiality,” Jean-Pierre Bregeon, ABMI, project engineering firm, France
Functionality: SmarTeam enables designers, as well as other users, to view files in more than 450 different formats without needing the native application. This functionality enables designers to properly classify and link various kinds of documents to projects and to designs to ensure that all the data can be easily viewed in context.
Benefits: Save time and resources otherwise
spent to purchase, install, train on and maintain other software applications
Save designers’ time and memory needed to run additional applications

ENOVIA brands offer the only native, best-in-class CATIA integration on the market;
Competitors do not have the knowledge and focus to build an integration that provides full integrity of the data (maintaining all critical types of CATIA data –links, references, etc)Competitors’ CATIA integrations are often built by third-party developers, and therefore are expensive and not synchronized with new releases of CATIA, as it is not their core competence
Why Design Express over the Competition?4.1

SmarTeam provides the built-in flexibility that allows you to start bymanaging files and documents and then grow to managing document structures and item structures
Competitors focused on document / file management are not able to provide the full scenario combined with items, thus limiting the opportunity for future expansion to PLM
Competitors focused primarily on item management have added document management later as a limited capability, thus they don’t provide full document integration capabilities for engineers working within CATIA
SmarTeam is engineering-centric, focusing primarily on design lifecycle management
Competitors that began outside the PLM market don’t offer the functionality that engineering-centric companies need

4.3 Why Design Express over the Competition?
SmarTeam’s flexible data model, open API and foundation on proven, mainstream components makes the product more flexibleand customisable than that of its competitors. It allows users to adjust the built-in scenarios exactly to their needs.
Most competitors offer less flexibility, so users have less ability to tailor their systems to fit their processes.SmarTeam beats the competition at integration with multiple CADs, legacy, in-house and enterprise applications.
SmarTeam offers scalability and Design Express includes built-in upgrade capabilities to full PLM functionality using the same platform.

4.4 Why Design Express over the Competition?
SmarTeam has from its inception been geared to the needs of the mid-market, offering out-of-the-box functionality, low cost of administration and ownership, ease of use and rapid implementation
The competitors offer you an attractive starting price, but when deploying and trying to extend the scope of the implementation, you will discover high prices for additional functionality and implementation services, or realise that you have reached the ceiling already with your starting product
Owned by Dassault Systèmes, one of the industry’s global leaders, ENOVIA SmarTeam is a component of a comprehensive PLM portfolio, enjoying financial stability (CAGR in US$ of 18% since 1997), high investment in technology (26.5% of revenue invested in R&D) and exposure to the broad R&D resources of all the DassaultSystèmes’ and ENOVIA brands
