Working with ENOVIAVPM: Optimal PLM Usability with DMU Navigator

 

When working with ENOVIAVPM, the safe save mode ensures that you only create data in CATIA that can be correctly saved in ENOVIA.

ENOVIAVPM offers two different storage modes: Workpackage (Document kept - Publications Exposed) and Explode (Document not kept).

 
To ensure seamless integration, you must have both a CATIA and ENOVIA session running.
 
Some DMU commands will be grayed out from the DMU Navigator workbench when working on Products saved in Explode mode. The following tables indicate the different DMU commands and ENOVIAVPM accessibility for each command:
