ELYSIUM INC. ANNOUNCES DESIGN
INTENT ENGINEERING AS ITS FIRST NISSAN AUTHORIZED PDQ NP CAD DATA
QUALITY SERVICE CENTER
Company Enables Nissan Suppliers to Submit High-Quality 3D CAD Data
SOUTHFIELD,
MI, December 8, 2005 - Elysium Inc., a leading global provider of
multi-CAD enabling software, today announced
the Nissan Authorized PDQ NP Service Center in collaboration with
Design Intent Engineering (DIE).
PDQ NP is a protocol for 3D CAD data quality that is used by Nissan
Motors and its suppliers to ensure that only quality data is exchanged
within its supplier network. To further enable the implementation
and acceptance of PDQ NP, Elysium, which developed the software,
is establishing support centers that assist suppliers in getting
the 3D CAD data certified to the highest possible quality.
“Nissan, with Elysium software, is now able to identify bad
geometry that is causing a loss in 3D CAD data quality between Nissan
and
its suppliers,” said Ken Tashiro, VP & COO, Elysium Inc. “The
focus now is to ensure that all Nissan suppliers are able to exploit
the advantages provided by having greater accessibility to 3D CAD
data healing and certification providers. We are doing this via Authorized
Service Centers.”
The PDQ NP Service Center provides Nissan and its suppliers with
the ability to provide a PDQ NP check service that meets the release
requirements and compliance of the Nissan Technical Center North
America (NTCNA).
Several years ago, Nissan decided to embark on a new virtual development
process called V3P. Essentially, V3P demanded a complete re-engineering
of how Nissan produced automobiles: the design and post design processes,
the software tools, the manufacturing methodologies, and best practices.
One of the early concerns found during digital development trials
was that data errors, resulting primarily from data translation,
were causing significant problems and delays during downstream study
and analysis.
Elysium solved the companys problem by providing PDQ NP which acts
as a 3D CAD data firewall that identifies bad geometry; then fixes
and guarantees it with a PDQ stamp; or isolates and rejects it.
The collaboration with DIE has allowed the creation of the PDQ NP
check that not only ensures service that meets the release requirements
and compliance of the NTCNA, but also allows smaller-sized companies
to provide the service as well. DIE provides a highly skilled group
of engineers, fully knowledgeable of the NTCNA design methodologies.
