Developing By the Books

Development projects between partners can only work when uniform standards are observed. GII from T-Systems is Just the Answer for CAD

Today, almost all development projects within the automotive industry are driven by several partners. This saves everyone involved time and money, and more importantly, the new products benefit from the individual expertise of the participating partners. Joint developments have to comply with certain standards, however. When it comes to the international exchange of CAD data, the Volkswagen Group relies on the GII basic package from T-Systems.

The applications and macros contained in GII ensure that all uniform guidelines and construction standards are adhered to. They are an essential tool for Volkswagen Group partners in the design and testing of models and drawings in the CAD system CATIA®. The comprehensive performance spectrum of the GII basic package is a great tool for developers — it simplifies design by automatically adhering to prevailing guidelines.

Guaranteed high quality

GII prepares CATIA models for saving in the Volkswagen and Audi’s design data management system (KVS) by checking technical quality criteria. Other features provide appropriate labeling with adjustable grid spacing or the inclusion of a drawing frame. All this is supplemented by macros that offer CATIA users further functions that significantly facilitate development and construction.
