Hi all
I have a 3D model in JT format of a large electrical equipment. Each time I would like to click on a part of the material, to find all the information relating to this part (design methods, technical requirements, normatives, feedback...). Do you know if it's possible to do this in solidworks? If so, do you know how I can do that?
PS: I only have this software at my disposal.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Hello
I read your requirements """ all the information relating to this part (design modalities, technical requirements, normatives, feedback...) """.
Only a part of your wishes can be fulfilled with native Solidworks. For the rest, additional software (ADD IN or ADD ON) can store and restore the information provided that they are able to exchange information (and that's not easy).
I think that if you only have basic SW you could use a simple DBMS like Microsoft Access which can retrieve external information and store the information you enter (e.g. feedback). But in the case of Access, all the information has to be created there, which is pretty much like creating an app that plays the five-legged sheep. That's why there is a whole range of applications that meet all or part of the spectrum of features you are looking for.
But it must be remembered that information does not create itself, especially for the few pieces of information you cite that are characterized by "soft information". Soft information is, for example, "feedback" that is narrative or not very formalized (even in a quality approach that works).
In your requests there is enough to satisfy several professions, because it is the job of the methods, the job of the quality specialist, the job of the metrology, the job of the process manager, and the jobs of the managers of the different workshops, (sheet metal work, laser cutting, stamping or surface treatment, assembly assembly, etc.... it's not the same).
So concerns that are far from pure CAD design , even if the designer is supposed to integrate all the requirements, which explains why SW is not the right tool for your requests.
Kind regards
Hello
It's a technical data management software that is requested (see here) but in solidworks alone it seems complicated to me.
Kind regards
it looks like BIM but it's clear that SW alone doesn't know how to do it and from the little I've read about BIM, modules adapted to BIM don't run the streets.
Hello
Thank you all for your answers.
I have discussed with my boss and he agrees that we should see other software. Do you know of software that can best answer my problem?
If not, what software can I combine with SolidWorks to complete my project? Paid software is fine with me too.
I would like to specify that my 3D file that I have is in JT format.
