PTC blows it's own trumpet a little too soon. |

A Dassault insider says PTC is being one-sided in its triumphalism over its win in the EADS PHENIX initiative. He tells me:
- PHENIX had two components, (1) authoring tools and (2) PDM. EADS chose Dassault for CATIA, DELMIA and SIMULIA.
- This is a corporate initiative at the EADS level. Airbus has
committed to CATIA, DELMIA, ENOVIA VPM, and SIMULIA for their on-going
major programs, A400M, A380, and A350. There are no new airframe
programs on the drawing board.
Large aerospace companies choose tools by program (and usually
pay for them by program). The ROI to change tools on existing programs
is just not there. PTC may see some revenue from this, but it will be a
while in coming. This is particularly true given the financial issues
at EADS cited in a recent NY Times article.

History-Free, Feature-Based Design Drives Faster Innovation
Fast, flexible design speeds innovation
Solid Edge with
synchronous technology includes key new features that speed innovation.
They include an interactive design paradigm, faster editing tools,
native multi-CAD features and 2D/3D workflow integration.
- Create in a new interactive design environment:
A new interaction paradigm speeds innovation by enabling users to
develop 3D models without any pre-planning giving users up to a 100
times faster design experience.
- Edit faster:
New tools increase the speed and flexibility of design changes, so
users can perform engineering change orders (ECOs) in seconds instead
of hours.
- Edit multi-CAD data as native: All
tools in Solid Edge can be used on imported CAD data in the same manner
as native models, letting users make changes faster than their supplier.
- Leverage 3D power with 2D simplicity: Familiar 2D workflows within the 3D user interaction paradigm enable users to become experts quickly.
