Digital industrial design system combines the digital technology and industrial design process,and integrates the sub-systems of digital modeling, digital assemble, digital evaluation, digital manufacture, and digital information exchange. In order to let the industrial design work process and the design data flowing fluently around such sub-systems, Product Data Management (PDM) system is introduced here as the basic integration platform of the sub-systems to let the design process flow and design data flow working well. The product digital industrial design platform basic functions and its system structure is analyzed, and a general model and function frame of product data management system oriented to digital industrial design is presented in this paper to solve its characteristic data composition, integrative method of application software and industrial design flow in the process of the digital industrial design. Results about the working process integrative model, control process model, product class definition model, and the logical structure of the digital industrial design platform with the PDM system are also established. An application results for certain product development show that such digital industry design system can make the helps for the design work efficiency and the follow-up engineering design accuracy.

A product configurator is a system providing questions and sets of possible answers about products with sets of possible answers. This paper proposes a new idea for a configurator in which information about products are expressed as a structured net of interconnected classes of different types. Classes hold information about assemblies, product structural links, and logical constraints. Some classes have references to technical data on a product data management (PDM) system. Such a system allows flexible representation of knowledge about product configurations for production of aviation equipment. Santrauka Gaminio konfigūratorius yra programinė sistema, pateikianti klausimus apie produktą su galimais pasirinkimų variantais. Šiame darbe pasiūlyta nauja konfigūratoriaus idėja ir pateiktas konfigūracijų aprašo modelis. Šis modelis buvo kuriamas taip, kad juo būtų galima aprašyti realius, dažnai tobulinamus ir sudėtingos sandaros gaminius. Modelyje informacija apie gaminį pateikiama kaip tarpusavyje sujungtų įvairių klasių tinklas. Modelio klasėse saugoma informacija apie gaminio junginius, komponentų ryšius ir loginius apribojimus. Siūlomas konfigūracijų aprašo modelis leidžia lanksčiai perteikti inžinerines žinias apie įvairių gaminių, tarp jų ir aviacijos reikmėms skirtų gaminių, variantus.

Discuss the design of product data management (PDM) system based on Solid Edge Insight: Managed the different user roles by using the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0; Informed file changes to related staff timely by mail server to achieve the collaborative work between different designers that greatly improved design efficiency; Realized online browsing the Solid Edge files and their properties and BOM list via web part provided by the Insight, which made the system more humanized and visualization; Realized document libraries search by using its search view; Introduced the secure sockets layer (SSL) to encrypt network transmission system, which made the system safer and more reliable. Practice results show that this PDM system is able to fulfill the demand of online browsing and managing CAD products or related documents in minor enterprises.

Abstract We survey the current state-of-the-art in (commercial) Product Data Management (PDM) systems. After identifying the major functions of PDM systems, we indicate various shortcomings of the current PDM technology. An important shortcoming is in the representation and use of functions. We review the functional representation literature in the context of PDM technology. Systems management aspects of an engineering project is also commented on. We believe these two areas are the next two challenges awaiting PDM technology in the near future.
