Centralized Pace Data Management

ABOVE THE CLOUD(S)

Pacelab Cabin:

– Based on centrally managed data

– Projects associated to catalogs with possibility to migrate them

– Central repository for projects

Pacelab Data Management Tool:

– Dedicated UI to

» manage catalogs

» add/modify data

– Excel import for mass data upload

Features introduced with Pacelab Cabin 7.4

Centralized Pace Data Management – Why?

ABOVE THE CLOUD(S)

– Data management and client application from one hand

» No incompatibility issues

– Dedicated application for data administration

» Eases the data creation for complex data

» Supports automated versioning of data

» Limits the possibility to make errors on data creation/modification

» Limits the round trip times for data validation

Release 7.6 | Focus on Options Configuration

slide 12

Options configuration will become more flexible to adapt to customer needs

Options Configuration

– Make list of options configurators freely configurable

– Cascade option containers

» Container in container allows a better structuring of data

– Apply pre configuration concept of Galleys to other option containers

» Filter by option category

» Improve filter mechanism

– Retrieve life cycle information from Model for each options configuration

ABOVE THE CLOUD(S)

Release 7.6 | Layout Configuration Enhancements

slide 13

Layout Configuration Improvements Handling & Convenience

Automated Seat Installation:

Fishbone seat arrangement

– Problem: Seats are overlapping in X & Y direction. This disturbs the current implementation

– 2D viewer

» Selection of Packages more precise & visible

– AutoSave of projects in a configurable interval

– Save parametric models into local DB

– Rule engine

» Method Module functions included in BOM Docu

» Multi select & deletion

» Rules Status display & Rules Report improvements

» Rule report -> open Rules Editor
