Galorath, Inc. is excited to announce that it has reached an agreement with Dassault Systemes, to integrate SEER for Manufacturing with CATIA. For many companies, cost estimating is a very fragmented activity and the inclusion of SEER's Cost Estimator in CATIA will allow manufacturers to initially model and test composite manufacturing processes and tradeoffs during the earliest and most preliminary stages of design. Galorath's SEER software has been assisting large scale project estimation and planning for 25 years. A key benefit of SEER is that it is based on parametric modeling and incorporates industry data and best practices. Using analysis and simulation, SEER helps companies estimate and control project costs, risks, quality and duration.  "We know that many of our SEER for Manufacturing users, particularly in aerospace, use both CATIA and SEER," said Dan Galorath, CEO of Galorath Inc. "With the creation of SEER's Cost Estimator in CATIA, designers will be able

CONTACT Software and Trubiquity have extended the existing TRUfusion interface to CIM DATABASE PDX. PDX (Product Data Exchange) is one of the central services of the PLM platform. For system suppliers in particular, it provides a highly automated, secure way of exchanging product data with OEMs. The TRUfusionTM interface in PDX, which had previously only been available for sending CAD data and accompanying documentation, now supports inbound exchange. The solution was designed jointly and fully reflects the high expectations clients have of their tier 1 suppliers with regard to data conditioning, checking rules, transmission channels and so on. "Every automotive manufacturer or plant manufacturer has specific requirements regarding standards, protocols and formats”, says Dr. Jan Kickstein, Head of Application Development at CONTACT. “We automate the various procedures for converting, checking and packaging the data, thus largely eliminating the need for manual conditioning of the incoming and outgoing data." The entire process for sending
