Dassault Systemes SolidWorks Corp. Unveils SolidWorks Enterprise PDM 2009

BARCELONA, Spain—(BUSINESS WIRE)—September 18, 2008— Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corp. (DS SolidWorks), a world leader in 3D solutions, today in a worldwide press event unveiled SolidWorks® Enterprise PDM 2009. The new version of the product data management solution introduces deeper integration with SolidWorks® 3D CAD software, expanded bill of material (BOM) functionality, and Item-Centric product data management.

Key facts

  • Because of the new, deeper integration with SolidWorks, users of SolidWorks Enterprise PDM can access a new array of PDM productivity capabilities directly from within their CAD interface, including Change State and Where Used.
  • A new preview pane in the interface displays a part thumbnail with detailed version data, sparing users the need to open files or check properties.
  • Custom drawing/assembly BOMs that are created in SolidWorks CAD software are now passed intact to SolidWorks Enterprise PDM 2009, reducing rework.
  • Named BOMs, which can be used beyond the engineering organization, are now associated with the SolidWorks assembly. This means that if a designer changes a part, the BOM is automatically updated.
  • New Item-Centric PDM provides a gateway between engineering and purchasing/finance/ERP systems.
  • SolidWorks Enterprise PDM is especially suited to companies that span multiple geographic sites, desire the benefits of automated workflow, or require the rich database functionality provided by Microsoft® SQL Server®.
