The application of computer technology to engineering and manufacturing domains has drastically transformed the way products and systems are designed and produced. However, a major drawback of CAD/CAM/CAE systems is the steep learning curve required to understand and master their extensive and increasingly complex set of functionalities. In this paper, we present a new approach to deliver CAD training materials that is inspired by Model-Based Definition (MDB) strategies, where annotated 3D models become the center of the training process. In our system, textual 3D annotations are connected to a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system to provide access to interactive video tutorials which are linked to specific features of a CAD model. As a proof of concerto to validate this approach, a plugin for a commercial CAD package was developed that enhances the functionality of standard 3D annotation mechanisms and enables users to interact with the technical training materials directly within the CAD interface. New data structures were implemented to support the connection and integration with PLM systems. A group of tutorials are described to illustrate the system architecture and implementation details.

The shift to satisfied customer markets forces manufacturers to offer customised products. Moreover, product lifecycles are shortened, which requires a faster development of products and corresponding production systems. Both challenges amplify complexity in production. This complexity is usually confronted with flexibility. A new approach offering decentralised structures, and thereby flexibility, comes from cybertronic systems (CTS), which are further developed mechatronic systems with the capability to communicate through open networks with other such mechatronic systems. Up to now no integrated development process to engineer cybertronic products (CTP) and production systems (CTPS) has been developed, although such a process is essential to use their beneficial properties for today’s market conditions. Therefore, research is conducted in the research project mecPro². First, the properties of cybertronic systems are investigated and dissociated from those of mechatronic systems. Based on these properties, the connections of CTP and CTPS are analysed and a systematics for description for both is identified. With this the model-based development processes of CTP and CTPS can be further defined as well as their intersections and afterwards implemented in a data model. Finally, the development process is summarised in a product lifecycle management software to support the development process.

The article provides a general analysis of the current state of information ecosystems that implement the practice of model-based system engineering. It is concluded that the largest players of the PLM-market in the strategy and tactics of development of their products lay support practices model-based system engineering. Implementation of MBSE practices within PLM solutions is considered on the example of Siemens Digital Industries Software’s products. Keywords: System Engineering, Model-based system engineering (MBSE), Product lifecycle management (PLM), Capella, Modeling Tool, ARCADIA.

In times products gain in complexity and variety whereby release and development cycles become even shorter, consistent and systematic variant management is essential not only for technical communication but also for the very most processes in PLM. Therefore, system engineering and system configuration themselves must be leading for a centrally managed, reliable variant management for all PLM processes. We depict how enhanced model-based system engineering approach based on product and product component models can be the enabler for variant management in all PLM processes by specific, explicitly deduced views in different stages of the entire Product Lifecycle.
