CATIA PPR PDM GATEWAY 1 (PX1) provides tools to build a comprehensive Gateway Interface between CATIA V5 and any PDM for fluid import/export of data in a heterogeneous environment. PX1 is a build-time/run-time engine with a series of API's that a customer or 3rd party can use to build their own interface to other PDM systems. The export/import infrastructures or "engines" consist of several components; each has a specialized function to perform on the exchanged data: extraction, validation, mapping and reconciliation. Each component can be specifically tailored to address various desired exchange format characteristics and to implement exchange rules. User has the ability to manage and streamline all product related information throughout the product life cycle whatever his PDM systems are, while preserving integrity and reliability of data through synchronization.
