Abstract
Provided are a device and method for displaying a product in a product lifecycle management (PLM) system. In some embodiments, the device may include an input unit that may receive input from a user, a processor that may generate an engineering model of a product corresponding to one or more physical components of the product, and generate a software model of the product corresponding to one or more software components of the product, and a display that may display representations of both the engineering model and the software model incorporated in a same window.
Claims20
A computing device for displaying a product in a product lifecycle management (PLM) system, the computing device comprising:
- an input unit configured to receive input from a user;
- a processor configured to generate an engineering model of a product, the engineering model corresponding to one or more physical components of the product, and generate a software model of the product, the software model corresponding to one or more software components of the product;
- and
- a display configured to display a product model including representations of both the engineering model and the software model incorporated together.
A method for displaying a product in a product lifecycle management (PLM) system, the method comprising:
- generating an engineering model of a product, the engineering model corresponding to one or more physical components of the product,
- generating a software model of the product, the software model corresponding to one or more software components of the product;
- and
- displaying a product model including representations of both the engineering model and the software model incorporated together.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein instructions that when executed cause a computer to perform a method for displaying a product in a product lifecycle management (PLM) system, the method comprising:
- generating an engineering model of a product, the engineering model corresponding to one or more physical components of the product,
- generating a software model of the product, the software model corresponding to one or more software components of the product;
- and
- displaying a product model including representations of both the engineering model and the software model incorporated together.
