– Persistent identifiers

– New rendering methods

– Multi language support



VDS file format








Visual Enterprise Author

Single file format for authoring and omni-channel consumption

Configurable Visual Work Instruction.

New tools for updating viewables / models after engineering change

Standard mode. Authoring with VDS files for consumption across all platforms (Windows, UI5, IOS, Android)

Legacy mode. All features of VEA 8 working with RH files.

Various tool improvements e.g. Snap tool

VE Author 9.0 offers tools to update authored content in response to a change

Re-attach


Visualizations of Variant Configuration

Authoring one viewable for multiple product configurations.

Add filtering logic using metadata.

Filter at consumption time to display the desired configuration.

Simple approach for adding 3d to product and sales configurators.

Deliver the result as VDSL in UI5 or Active X viewers



Visual Enterprise Generator

Utilizing new file format features to provide improved caching and reduced processing times

Publishes shattered VDS files by default to support dynamic viewing and omni-channel consumption

Generic Conversion Workflow – enabling Simple Visualization Publishing Service

Reduced TCO. Removed dependency on SQL Server for Integrated workflows.

Simplified installation.


VE Generator 9 InnovationsSimplifications and Improvements

Improved pipeline efficiency by minimizing redundant processing

Creation of redundant visualization document BOMs in SAP PLM scenario no longer required: SolidWorks and

NX Visualizations are stored on the CAD Document BOM

Processing pipeline redesigned to minimize the amount of redundant work by taking advantage of the shattered

file format and improved caching mechanism

TCO reduction

Integrated scenarios do not require an independent Microsoft SQL server installation

Simplified configuration using VE Generator Configurator

Ability to transport VE Generator configuration from one instance to another

Ability to automate and customize VE Generator deployment



Visual Enterprise Viewer

Support for dynamic viewing of shattered assemblies.

Consumption of configurable visual work instructions.

CAD and file format support

Persistent CAD Identifiers to support Change Management

Solid Edge – Support for occurrence properties, display configurations, group nodes

Industry Foundation Classes (IFC - ISO 16739)

– Format support for BIM solutions in EC&O and related plant and process industries

3DXML format support (Catia V6 interchange format)

CREO Parametric View & PMI support in VE Author

Ongoing format reading improvements across all formats



Visual Interaction Toolkit

UI5-based consumption of configurable visual work

instructions

Rendering methods added: Line Illustration, Solid

Outline, Shaded Illustration, Transparent

Thrustlines added

Metadata support on Procedures, Steps, Portfolios,

Modelviews


Integrated Applications

Visual Manufacturing Planner

Generates configurable Visual Work Instructions

Change Management enabled – includes “mastering” of process-related authored content

Supports loading of shattered files during planning

All integrated visualisation-enabled applications updated to work correctly with shattered files

VIP

DMU in PSM

Viewing in PLM, DMS, …

ERP applications will have Notes supplied to provide the necessary application updates

Configurable, filterable authored content

Also known as “Configurable Visual Work Instruction”, or “Author once, use many”
