simus classmate Software Suite - for structured data

The simus classmate software suite ensures structured and standardized data in the company. 3D CAD models can be geometrically analyzed and classified. The data quality is increased by the use of simus classmate. You will find your data faster, relieve designers and work planning and ensure an optimal pre-calculation. The software suite offers a comfortable search tool with a graphical user interface. The search quickly finds the relevant components in the system, ensuring effective reuse.

simus classmate is a software suite consisting of different modules that can be used together or separately. These modules are classmate DATA, classmate CAD, classmate PLAN, classmate FINDER as well as classmate SAP modules or interfaces to CAD, ERP and PDM systems. You can compose the modules according to your requirements. Numerous company areas such as purchasing, sales, work preparation, organization and construction benefit from the cleaned and structured data.

The modules

classmate DATA automatically analyzes and structures master data and makes it available in any format. Through the individually customizable set of rules, data can not only be structured, but also enhanced to make optimal use of existing information.
Both the merging of different databases and the enrichment of data with information from product catalogs are possible with classmate DATA. Thus, all relevant data values can be clearly centralized and displayed in a single application. In addition, new structures can be transferred easily through direct interfaces to common ERP systems.

  • individually definable classification systems and property characteristic lists
  • fully automatic classification based on individually defined rules
  • summarization of mass data according to freely selectable criteria
  • connection of a wide variety of data sources
  • output to a wide variety of target formats
  • multilingual data management

classmate CAD analyzes 3D models without any additional effort on the part of the designer, automatically arranges them in a classification structure that can be customized for specific companies, and fills associated attribute lists with the technical parameters. The system runs in the background and thus does not require any changes to the workflow. classmate CAD currently offers interfaces to Autodesk Inventor, CATIA V5, Pro/ENGINEER, Solid Edge, SolidWorks and Unigraphics NX and works independently of the modeling methodology used.

  • fully automatic analysis and classification
  • geometric or functional or combined classification
  • identification and display of faulty models
  • interactive execution or execution in batch mode
  • individually adaptable rule sets

classmate FINDER is the comfortable tool for a fast and successful search for product data, even in very large databases. In addition to a cross-class search by means of subject characteristics, the search for similar parts is also possible. A graphical user interface, 2D preview images, 3D viewer formats and value lists backed by pictograms also make it easier to quickly find the data you are looking for. Identical data records are automatically identified with the integrated duplicate analysis.

  • search within seconds using freely definable search criteria
  • easy navigation and keyword search in the graphically displayed class tree
  • feature-based search for single values and value ranges
  • automatic determination of duplicates
  • similarity search with freely selectable criteria
  • support of 2D preview images and 3D viewer formats
  • determination of geometric differences of 3D models
  • intuitive user interface

With classmate PLAN, components and assemblies can be pre-calculated quickly and conveniently at the push of a button during the design phase. classmate PLAN generates the calculation of a component fully automatically on the basis of the geometry data analyzed independently by classmate CAD. The pre-calculation is output for different, customizable lot sizes; in addition, an optimal lot size is determined, in which setup costs and piece count costs are in the most optimal relationship possible. Potential savings in production can be analyzed immediately. The result of the analysis can also be used for automated work scheduling. classmate PLAN determines which operations are required in which sequence and generates the work plan in just a few seconds.

  • support for cost-conscious design through information on manufacturing costs already during the design process
  • easy integration into the existing IT landscape
  • simple and fast capacity and resource planning
  • automatic determination of the cost-optimized relationship between setup and unit costs
  • automatic determination of lead times
  • automatic price updating

Target groups:

classmate DATA is of interest to all companies in which

  • large amounts of data have been entered in an unstructured way or without specifications
  • the data origin goes back to a heterogeneous system environment
  • a switch from legacy systems to new solutions is made
  • a switch from decentralized to centralized data management, and
  • the data quality is to be increased for better reuse.

classmate CAD is of interest to all companies that want to

  • work with the CAD systems Inventor, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Catia, Pro/ENGINEER or Unigraphics
  • want to relieve designers
  • want to use flexible options for searching and finding existing CAD data and
  • want to achieve an improvement in the profit situation through the reuse of parts.

classmate FINDER is of interest to all companies that want to

  • work with mass data
  • need an effective tool to search for product and CAD data in large data sets and
  • do not have convenient options for mass data modification in the existing PDM or ERP system.

classmate PLAN is of interest to all companies that want to

  • do not want to carry out preliminary costing of internally designed components and assemblies only after work planning has been completed, and
  • want to achieve savings in the area of work planning.
