The cPDM software is used in all the product development stages. In the concept stage, the CAD software is used to make the initial sketches of the product, which helps give a better understanding of the product. The initial sketch of the product involves collaboration among several business units in the organization. This leads to the adoption of the cPDM software. Collaboration takes place among the marketing,finance, and manufacturing divisions. The process also extends to customers and suppliers.The design stage involves the creation of the geometry of the product. Simulation analysis software, such as FEA and CFD, are used to design and analyze stress and fluid mechanics of the product. CAD software can be used as a standalone tool or integrated with FEA or CFD for simulation, optimization, and validation analysis of the product.CAD, CAM, and cPDM software are used in the realize stage which involves manufacturing of the product. They are used for the designing of tools, computer numerical control (CNC) machines, and stamping equipment. It's also used in the casting and forming processes.In the servitization stage, cPDM and Siemens Teamcenter maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) software are used to provide information to service engineers and ensure quality customer service.
