CCE Updates Ensuite 2.2
CCE has added several capabilities to Ensuite 2.2 - its software for sharing detailed product knowledge across the extended enterprise. EnSuite's latest release provides access to product manufacturing information (PMI) stored in annotated 3D models. This type of information, typically required by manufacturers and fabricators, includes geometric dimensions, tolerances, surface roughness and datums.
By providing PMI data, Ensuite helps manufacturers improve collaboration throughout the supply chain by providing accurate product specifications, allows increased use of 3D product information throughout the product lifecycle, dramatically reduces design and fabrication errors caused by the misinterpretation of 2D data or paper documents, and cuts paper handling and document delivery costs.
The Ensuite update also includes a Shrink Wrap tool that can be used to combine all the solid bodies available in an assembly file to a single solid. The result provides an accurate external representation of the model. This model can be shared, where sharing detailed design information is not required.
This is useful in a supply chain environment, as it reduces the detail of production data for intellectual property protection and creates simplified data for complex assemblies. Ensuite supports files from multiple CAD formats, including CATIA V5 R19, Solidworks 2009 and NX6. Ensuite is designed to provide quick access to critical engineering information residing in CAD data, no matter which CAD system was used to author it. Its interface can be used by non-designers.
