In modular platform, product designer releases BIW modules in CAD & PLM as per functional requirement and these are flat structure and don't have manufacturing sequence information. Then manufacturing planner prepares manufacturing stage assemblies based on the manufacturing facility and provide make or buy decision. To prepare stage assembly planner need to work in multi CAD environment like CATIA, DELMIA and PLM systems. Manufacturing planner generates stage assemblies from design modules by

To distribute weld spot, arc weld and studs, manufacturing planner need to launch these modules in DELMIA, however the conversion of CATIA fastener information into DELMIA environment is a complex activity. This paper presents detailed process flow, tools & techniques with one use case to create manufacturing stage assemblies of a complex assembly - underbody rear floor with minimum planner's manual effort with no gap between design BOM and manufacturing BOM.
