Publication & CAD Data Navigator2012 June CATIA Forum

On behalf of PLM WG / CAD ServicesStephane Bally, CERN/PH-CMX


Scope The Publish command together with the Web based CAD Data Navigator

provides a read-only access to published 3D models referenced in SmarTeam official projects.

It allows you to view, inspect (measuring/sectioning) and navigate in the structure of published 3D models using free of cost viewers.

Direct and permanent URL address to published document.


Scope The management (Publish/Revoke) of model publications is done in

SmarTeam by its responsible (designer).

CDN might improve/ease CAD information sharing but does not offer a SmarTeam export/import data integration process.


SmarTeam MethodologyPre-requirements Be responsible for the document. A CATIA Part or CATIA Product document. Document is Checked-In. Document linked to a Official Project.

Important ! To satisfy traceability requirements, the Publish action assures that the

document (and all dependencies) cannot be overwritten (at least Preliminary).

Sub-parts/products of a Published assembly model are not automatically published, but are all available via the parent publications.

3DVIA file format created by default (3DPDF, STEP are optional)


SmarTeam MethodologyRevoke Publication A published document can be removed from the CAD Data Navigator using

the command "Revoke Publication“ by its responsible. The preliminary state will be kept for traceability purpose.

CDN MethodologyPre-requirements Have a valid EDMS account Read-only data (download only) 3DVIA player (Windows) Acrobat Reader 7 (non-Windows)

Important ! Document metadata available for

all Smarteam documents. Your feed-backs/suggestions are

welcome ([email protected])


3D Viewers3DVIA Player (Windows OS)

• Default CDN file format• Approximated geometry• Measuring/Sectioning features

Acrobat Reader (non-Windows OS)

• Optional CDN file format• Approximated geometry• No Measuring/Sectioning features

STEP file might also be useful (major CAE packages)

• A well established 3D Standard format• Real geometry

DEMO foreseen …
