Product Overview

ENOVIA VPM Connection transfers engineering design data from ENOVIA VPM V4 to the ENOVIA Manufacturing Hub (IPD). It closely integrates Product design departments (using ENOVIA VPM V4 and CATIA V4/V5) with Product Manufacturing departments (using ENOVIA Manufacturing Hub and DELMIA E5/V5). ENOVIA VPM Connection transfers the following information:

  • Product Meta-data
    • Product structure
    • Product attributes
    • Model/Document data
    • Configuration/Effectivity data
  • Product Geometry
    • CGRs

The data transfer may be performed either interactively or via a batch program. Further, the Manufacturing Hub may be updated in two ways:
  • Full Transfer Mode
    • Always transfer the complete product structure
  • Partial Transfer Mode
    • Do not transfer the complete product structure, but selected sub-assemblies only
    • The Partial Transfer Mode supports the transfer of very large product structures by assembling it from smaller pieces

The supported objects in ENOVIA VPM V4 are:

  • Product-related objects
    • Reference parts
    • Part instance information
    • Link information (i.e. product structure)
    • Transformation matrices

  • Document, Models
    • CGR filename
    • CGR geometry

  • Effectivity-related objects
    • Effectivity on links between parts
    • Category, option, specification

Further capabilities include:
  • Type mapping
  • Attribute mapping
  • Update management and protocol
  • Filtering
