On the integration of model-based feature information in Product Lifecycle Management systems
作者：
Highlights：
• We propose a new structure for annotating CAD models that can be integrated with PLM systems.
• We describe the architecture of a software system to externally manage the design information that is embedded in CAD models.
• The proposed mechanism facilitates a cohesive view of product-related information within the design environment.
• A prototype was developed to demonstrate the new structures and their integration with two commercial PLM systems with distinct data models.
• The prototype was efficiently integrated in a typical production workflow and information was effectively stored, retrieved, and synchronized.
