Run Catvba and Design Databases?

Run Catvba and Design Databases?

Run Catvba and Design Databases?

(OP)
Hi,
Does Catvba only run through the Catia window or can you also run it through a database? I read somewhere in the net that Catia is just a portal to the database that holds the product documents. SO I am curious if you can skip the portal and just run catvba directly in the database itself.

Thanks

RE: Run Catvba and Design Databases?

Hi,

I would be happy to avoid using CATIA to perform different tasks and save datastream to database but no way for a user. And CATIA is not a portal. 3DCom is the portal which is working with CATIA (speaking about v5).

By default there is no other way to save to VPM/3DCom, you have to use CATIA. 3DCom client and server combination works in principle on following way:
- 3Dcom/VPM server is the actual client for VPM. This Server has database connector client. (database connector is the important thing; it can communicate things to database, that is the core of VPM)
- 3DCom client sends save commands and actual datastream from client (thru CATIA commands) to 3DCOm server with binary files and XML commands (as far as I know).

Regards
Fernando
