SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DATA INTEGRATION OF ENGINEERING TOOLS

摘要

The invention relates to a system and method for data integration using at least two independent engineering tools including their private database, where all data in the first tool being of interest for the second tool are identified, specified and stored in an electronic data container, advantageously a file or a database, provided with a link of each data item stored in the electronic data container to the original data and with a snapshot copy of these data, whereat the electronic data container containing said data is being opened by the target tool or a separate application providing a read-only view of the engineering data of the source tool for further use in the target engineering tool and a navigation through these data for the engineer as well as for a data import.
