Project Description To develop a user-friendly, web- based front end for Pro-Engineer in order to eliminate “non- value” activities and drastically cut the design process lead time. “Product Builder” will generate a complete parts list by querying the user a series of questions related to their design utilizing: »user-defined specifications »pull-down lists »related attributes Project 037

User web input must be stored in a database located on customer’s server Easy to maintain with future releases of all related software Software revision control Internal program documentation and external flowchart “Clone-ability” Customer Requirements Project 037

Project Deliverables Robust Access database of sample Pro-E parts containing all inclusive subassemblies, object attributes, attribute types, options, and defaults Create GUI between Pro-E and MS Access database with query options Demonstrate breadth and depth of scope Create interface for database input interfacing with all supported software Develop Quality Control Matrix Project 037
