Working with Parts in SolidWorks Enterprise PDM

Hello

Do any of you use the parts in SolidWorks Enterprise PDM?

I've read the PDM help which explains the principle but I don't really see the purpose of using this feature to manage your products.

I am naturally interested in any information to study the possibility of implementing this principle in our company.

Hello

We don't use this article principle at home, but this article principle is the classic way of PLM (Product Life Management). Basically, it allows you to associate a given reference with a whole documentation and/or CAD files.

For example, in some companies, it is used to generate a registration file in which all the design justification documents can be retrieved for reference for example (test report, technical specification, test protocols, etc.).

So it goes a little further than the "simple" production BOM generated by a CAD tree.
