Technology Overview
This technology introduces a three-tiered approach (Lock/Warn/Rollback) for managing conflicts in multi-user CAD environments, ensuring seamless collaboration and data consistency without the need for federal funding. Implemented in NX Connect, it represents a significant advancement over traditional conflict management methods.
Key Advantages
- Prevents simultaneous edits on the same feature by multiple users
- Warns users of potential conflicts before they occur
- Automatically rolls back edits that conflict, preserving data integrity
- Enhances collaboration through a seamless, rules-based approach
- Implemented in a client-server architecture to ensure real-time data consistency
Problems Addressed
- Eliminates the inefficiencies of turn-based systems and on-demand locking in CAD collaboration
- Reduces the need for model decomposition, simplifying the design process
- Improves project timelines by minimizing conflicts among users
Market Applications
- Engineering firms utilizing multi-user CAD systems for collaborative design projects
- Education institutions for teaching advanced CAD courses
- Software companies looking to integrate advanced conflict management into their CAD tools
