Anark Selected By Hydro-Québec For Creating And Publishing High Fidelity 3D PDF Based Technical Data Packages

Anark Corporation, leading provider of Model Based Enterprise (MBE) publishing and Collaboration software for engineering, manufacturing and the supply-chain, announced today that it has been selected by Hydro-Québec to provide an automated MBE publishing solution that will enable the company to transition from legacy 2D drawing-based systems to more efficient and effective 3D PDF document-based processes.

"We are pleased to work with Anark, and to utilize their automated 3D PDF transformation and publishing platform to create interactive 3D model-based electronic documentation from our CATIA MBD mock-ups," said Michael Labelle, Production Engineering Director at Hydro-Québec. "Moreover, the 3D PDF documents respect the legal requirements of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ - the self-regulatory body that governs Quebec's 55,000 professional engineers), including electronic signature and long-term archival requirements. The easy-to-interpret Anark generated dynamic 3D documents will enable us to make the MBD mock-ups of our civil engineering structures more accessible to other divisions and building contractors, thus speeding engineering, bid and building cycle times and reducing errors."

Following an extensive evaluation of numerous MBE and 3D PDF publishing solutions, Hydro-Québec chose Anark based on four main criteria:Anark Core platform automates server-based MBE document publishing

  • Anark SOA enables integrating 3D document publishing capability into Hydro-Québec's SmarTeam PLM environment
  • Anark Core combines multiple types of authority enterprise data from multiple sources into a single well-structured interactive document
  • Anark use of Dassault's native APIs enables correct extraction of CATIA PMI/FTA/MBD data that results in publishing high-fidelity 3D MBE documents

"Anark is proud to be selected by Hydro-Québec to support its transition to 3D model based communication, collaboration, and long-term archival processes," said Stephen Collins, President & CEO of Anark. "Hydro-Québec is an innovative global leader in the field of hydroelectricity, and we are looking forward to working with the Hydro-Québec team to ensure their successful implementation of automated MBE document publishing, taking full advantage of their native CATIA 3D model and PMI data for improved internal communication and collaboration."
