Teams Collaboration
Real-time CAD Review Sessions: Synchronized Intelligence
Static design reviews are the bottleneck of traditional engineering. Edelweis replaces asynchronous feedback loops with Real-time CAD Review Sessions, a collaborative environment where members and stakeholders dissect complex models simultaneously to make critical decisions in seconds.
1. The Live Session Infrastructure
We utilize low-latency, multi-user tools that handle massive assemblies without performance degradation:
Follow-Me Navigation
Reviewers can synchronize the camera view for all participants to focus on specific internal cavities.
Live Cross-Sectioning
Real-time clipping planes allow the team to slice through assemblies without modifying source files.
Multi-User Ghosting
Participants appear as colored avatars, allowing everyone to point, measure, and interact in shared space.
2. Technical Audit Workflows
| Focus Area | Review Action | Technical Driver |
|---|---|---|
| Interference | Live Clash Detection during motion. | Validating Tolerance Stack-up Analysis. |
| Tooling Access | Simulating tool paths and clearances. | Confirming CAM & Toolpath Protocols. |
| Sim-Data Overlay | Projection of FEA/CFD stress plots. | Live correlation of stress to geometry features. |
| BOM Verification | Live attribute and part number audit. | Ensuring BOM Structure synchronization. |
3. Integrated Markup & Action Items
-
•
Spatial Redlining: Drawing 3D sketches and annotations directly on part surfaces to highlight required modifications.
-
•
Voice-to-Task Conversion: Integrated AI logs verbal decisions and automatically creates ECOs or tasks in the PDM system.
-
•
Snapshot Documentation: Capturing annotated 3D states that are automatically attached to the TDP as meeting minutes.
4. Stakeholder & Vendor Alignment
-
•
Executive Transparency: Stakeholders join via browser portals to approve high-level functional changes without CAD expertise.
-
•
Vendor Direct Feedback: Manufacturing partners perform "Pre-Manufacturing Audits" to optimize designs for machine capabilities.
Technical Directives
| Directive | Protocol |
|---|---|
| Version Lock | Sessions must only occur on files that are "Checked-In" to the Vault for data integrity. |
| Conflict Resolution | Stalemates trigger an immediate Technical Peer Review (TPR) for final decision. |
| Session Recording | All live sessions are recorded and timestamped for V&V Standards auditing. |
