CIMPA Delivers Data Translation Solutions for Streamlining Digital Mock-up Processes for UK Leading Aerospace Company | CIMPA

As part of an ongoing strategic business requirement of cost reduction, the aerospace company identified two current legacy processes, each using different methods and tools, to transfer DMU information to customers. The company identified the need for a Managed Service Supplier to establish a standardized way to work and deliver the solution to a new best in class standard.

CIMPA and Elysium built on their existing partnership to utilize CIMPA’s knowledge of best practice data translation solutions and Elysium’s ASFALIS (3DxSUITE) tool to automate the bidirectional translation to and from Siemens NX and Dassault Systèmes CATIA V5.

ASFALIS realized high fidelity automation with robust and reliable mapping and editing of CAD models to comply with customer protocols.

Alan Duerden, the lead PLM consultant at CIMPA, acknowledges Elysium’s consistent and accurate translation information for geometry and attributes. The consistency and accuracy is confirmed through automated Product Data Quality and Validation Reports. These reports helped identify opportunities for ongoing automation and increased efficiency, and continues to support the UK company in its strategic cost reduction objectives.
