Study On Product Data Management Technology For Cooperative Design

Cooperative design is a process in which a team designs a product simultaneously, taking aim at a team work, and with the aid of a distributive collaborative environment of computer communication network. The Cooperative technology is an emerging science which developed in the recent years, thereinto, the computer supported the cooperative design, successfully the cooperative work idea utilizes to the engineering design domain, and this also was one of core contents which this article studied.Product Data Management (PDM) is a hot spot in the enterprise information technology application and software development, is an important technology with which the enterprise realizes the information integration, it holds the extremely important status in the modern enterprise. PDM carries on the effective management to the product correlation information and the product correlation process, and transmits the correct information to the correct person by the correct form, in the correct time. Along with the product data management (PDM) technology development, the CSCD technology and the PDM technology union already became the tendency of coordination design technology facing the product entire life cycle.This paper take the product data management technology for cooperative design as the thorough study object, has discussed the close relation between the product data management technology and the cooperative design technology. In this paper, understanding the cooperative technology and the PDM technology, we have established PDM system structure for cooperative design in the design institute due to the special demand to cooperative design in the design institute.In this paper, with the working pattern and characteristic in the design institute, we have proposed the PDM system structure for cooperative design in the design institute which is three aspects organic synthesis system: It takes the work to manage as the foundation, takes the project management as the core, and takes chart documents management as key. In this paper, based work flow technology, we build the modeling of the work flow management system with UML (Unified Modeling Language). At last, this paper has produced the network construction scheme in the design institute.
