Presenter: Pawel Chadzynski, Aras Systems engineering driven businesses often times have different needs than supply chain-oriented operations. Find out how ECAD connnectors can expose the logical structure of schematics as part of the RFLP while still providing electronic design data across fabrication and assembly.

Functional Relationships of the Entity

Behavior is the System Model driver -
Increases in importance with System

System Model influencer – Contributes

23. Cross-domain Logical Blocks challenge
© 2015 Aras 23
 MCAD – explicit
▫ MCAD file = PLM Part/Assembly (BOM)
▫ MCAD files mapped to PLM Parts
 ECAD – extractable
▫ ECAD file  PLM Part/Assembly (BOM)
▫ Components mapped to PLM Parts
 Embedded Software – indirect
▫ IDE files  PLM Part/Assembly (BOM)
▫ Build process? Released binary?
 System – TBD
▫ Requirements?
▫ Block diagrams (functional & logical)?
▫ Models as input, Reports as outputs?
Natural fit with PLM
Challenge with mapping
files to PLM parts
Not a happy fit with PLM
product configuration
Similar to ECAD schematics?
Explicit SysML data model?
It will take more
finesse than this!
