COLLABORATIVE CAX UPDATES

摘要

A method, executed by at least one processor, may include storing, within a set of memory locations within a storage medium, data for a feature of an engineering object in a first client format and a collaborative server format that is different than the first client format, the first client format corresponding to a first CAx application operable by a first user, the collaborative server format corresponding to a collaborative server. The method may also include updating the data for the feature in both the first client format and the collaborative server format in response to receiving an update to the feature from, or detecting an update to the feature by, the first CAx application or the collaborative server. A corresponding system and computer readable medium are also disclosed herein.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a collaborative data store configured to store a model of an engineering object, wherein the model comprises a plurality of features, and wherein the model is encoded in a collaborative server format; a collaborative server configured to manage the collaborative data store; a first CAx client comprising at least one processor and configured to execute a first CAx application and enable the first user to edit the model of the engineering object encoded in a first client format that is different than the collaborative server format; wherein a synchronization module associated with the first CAx client or the collaborative server is configured to store within a set of memory locations within a storage medium, data for a feature of the engineering object in the first client format and the collaborative server format; and the synchronization module further configured to update the data for the feature in both the first client format and the collaborative server format in response to receiving an update to the feature from, or detecting an update to the feature by, the first CAx application or the collaborative server.
