| AMEnterprise provides a
complete off-the-shelf solution for managing product
and process data and making it easily accessible to
distributed stakeholders in the design process,
including engineers, managers, accountants, suppliers,
and customers.
AMEnterprise is an integrated suite of application tools
that seamlessly link with the AML framework as well as
third-party applications. This suite consists of four
integral modules for managing, viewing, publishing and
executing complete product engineering data models:
AMCentral, AMViews, AMPublish, and AMLink. |

AMCentral is a web services
based repository for managing all types of engineering data,
including analysis results, spreadsheets, CAD models, FEA
models, documentation, as well as AML models and source code.
Configuration management functionality includes access control,
version tracking, release management, and workflow automation.
In summary, AMCentral provides the ability to:
- Access product and process
data over the web
- Define workflow events and
triggers
- Manage models and data
access privileges
- Track activity at user and
project levels
AMViews is an XML-based
model browser and inspection environment. It is an easy to use
tool for viewing and annotating product and process model data,
geometry, analysis results, and simulations. In addition, the
available “Net Conference” mode enables real-time
collaboration among team members across local and global
computer networks.
AMPublish enables the export of
XML-based models out of AMCentral. It provides the ability to
publish a model’s object hierarchy, properties, and associations
to linked applications, such as CAD models, spreadsheets,
documents, AML systems, or TIE models.
Both AMViews and AMPublish can be
extended to support the data formats of third-party
applications.
AMLink automates the execution of
workflow events associated with external applications. Through
AML or TIE, foreign applications can be integrated so that their
inputs and outputs can be automatically managed in AMCentral,
exported via AMPublish, and viewed in AMViews. In essence,
AMLink closes the loop in the execution of workflow
processes that involve external applications, allowing even
non-technical personnel to drive the most sophisticated
engineering design and analysis models across the Internet or
within a secure intranet.
In summary, the AMEnterprise
suite enables rapid collaborative evaluation, study, and
comparison of design alternatives, reducing the time for
processing engineering product changes. |
