SAP PLM Interface to SOLIDWORKS by CIDEON Software connects your SOLIDWORKS environment with SAP PLM to create a single, controlled source of product data. Engineers can manage parts, assemblies, drawings, and related documents directly in SAP while working in SOLIDWORKS, eliminating manual handoffs, reducing errors, and accelerating release processes across engineering, manufacturing, and service.
Key capabilities:
- Seamless daily work: Check in/out, search, and assign numbers from within SOLIDWORKS while storing all CAD data and references in SAP.
- Bidirectional data mapping: Synchronize SOLIDWORKS properties with SAP materials, documents, classifications, and title blocks for consistent metadata.
- BOM and structure control: Transfer CAD structures to SAP engineering BOMs, run comparisons, and perform delta updates; handle assemblies, drawings, and configurations.
- Lifecycle and change management: Drive revisions, releases, and workflows in SAP with full traceability and an auditable history.
- Derivative file generation: Automatically create and vault neutral formats (for example, PDF, STEP, DXF/DWG, and other configured outputs) based on release rules.
- Performance and collaboration: Manage large assemblies and multi-site scenarios with role-based access and secure data handling.
- Flexible implementation: Configure mappings, templates, and rules to align with your processes; supports both SAP S/4HANA and SAP ERP landscapes and current SOLIDWORKS releases.
