SolidWorks PDM (Dassault Systèmes)
SolidWorks PDM is a TDMS particularly suited for Dassault Systèmes CAD users. Often deployed alongside SolidWorks, it serves as a secure shared vault for technical data.
It simplifies change management, enhances data reuse, and integrates seamlessly into SolidWorks. Every document is stored centrally, with automatic version tracking. When a designer updates a drawing, the system keeps the older version and ensures that all teams instantly access the latest one, avoiding the risks of outdated local files.
In industry, TDMS software like SolidWorks PDM brings the discipline needed for version control, documentation, and collaborative engineering.
