DELMIA V5-6 Release 2013 for Digital Manufacturing allows manufacturers to interact with factory processes early in the design stage and months before actual production commitment. Engineers, management, and stakeholders can have a 3D visualization of the real world with the ability to evaluate “what-if scenarios,” make changes, optimize shop floor operations, and identify and eliminate costly errors and design mistakes. This allows any enterprise to facilitate higher quality and foster greater innovation. DELMIA V5-6R2013 continues to extend and enhance its industry leading PLM technology portfolio for manufacturers and their interaction with factory processes through the delivery of two new product introductions and highlighted enhancements.

The MultiCAx Plug-ins provides the ability to handle multiple data formats including most common data standards and proprietary data from a large number of CAD systems. The MultiCAx products enable the import of 3D data from I-DEAS, Pro/ENGINEER, Unigraphics, SolidEdge, Inventor, SolidWorks, ACIS, Parasolid, DELMIA, CATIA Version 4, CATIA Version 5 and various other formats (IGES, STEP, STL, SLP, OBJ Wavefront, VRML, I-DEAS IFF ). The MultiCAx products may be used in conjunction with ENOVIA Portal products to visualize a multiCAx digital mock-up that include multiCAx parts and in conjunction with CATIA to enable data coming from non-CATIA systems to be used in a hybrid product development environment.
