For the first time, the SOLIDWORKS User Group Catalunya is opening one of the live expert sessions of the Computer-Aided Design and Analysis course within the Master’s Degree in Automotive Engineering to the wider SOLIDWORKS community.

This special hybrid session will be delivered by Dino Pečenjev, Application Engineer at Strojotehnika d.o.o., SOLIDWORKS Elite Applications Engineer Award recipient and member of the SOLIDWORKS Champions community.

Product Lifecycle Management Fundamentals

Modern automotive product development requires much more than creating and managing CAD files. Engineers must work with structured product information, revisions, maturity states, engineering changes and collaborative workflows throughout the complete lifecycle of a product.

During this session, Dino will introduce the fundamental concepts of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and show how they are implemented within a SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE-based engineering environment.

Topics

• Introduction to Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)

• Collaborative Spaces

• Product Structures

• Engineering Items

• Lifecycle States

• Revision and Release Management

• Change Actions

• Product Data Management using the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

• Collaborative engineering workflows

Learning Objectives

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of Product Lifecycle Management.

• Understand how product structures and engineering items are managed.

• Understand engineering revision and release processes.

• Recognize the role of lifecycle states and maturity management.

• Understand Change Actions and controlled engineering changes.

• Understand collaborative product development workflows using the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.

A Live Automotive Engineering Master’s Session

This is not a standalone webinar. Participants will be joining a real live session of the Master’s Degree in Automotive Engineering, together with the students enrolled in the course.

The objective is to create a direct connection between academic engineering education, industrial practices and the SOLIDWORKS professional community.
