    Concurrent is the Keyword

    Unless you were vacationing on Mars or working in a tool-room, you should be aware that Microsoft Word is the most popular Word Processor in the world

    And MS Word comes with a feature called Thesaurus.

    Just type the word Concurrent and press Alt+TLT (or Shift+F7)

    And that is what PDM is all about :

  • Simultaneous
  • Synchronized
  • parallel
  • coexisting
  • concomitant


  • - management of anything percievable.

    Product Data Management

    PDM stands Product Data Management.

    When you are working in a large group designing big products like a Solid Edge assembly or may be a single intricate part, then lots of non-design data is created in the process.

    The simplest forms non-technical data are :

  • A word document containing the proposal,work instructions, Reports.
  • A Excel sheet for billing, parts list, time deviation analysis.
  • A powerpoint containing product presentation, process control.
  • JPEG images related to the product.
  • Not to mention Solid Edge


  • Remember :
    PDM comes into picture when many people are working on many documents concurrently.

    Solid Edge's Own PDM - Insight

    Solid Edge has a built-in PDM facility called Insight
    Using Insight, Solid Edge users :

  • Can concurrently manage their electronic data during the design and manufacturing process.
