GM Check-Mate Development FrameworkStatus and Future Shirish More Solutions Architect – Global General Motors Account Siemens PLM Software 1
ABSTRACT This presentation will address the challenge of developing, integrating and deploying Check-Mate checkers/profiles into GM Math Data Validation processes.
General Motors Validation Facts Check-Mate as globally agreed upon CAD validation tool Successfully implemented Check-Mate at all GM Global Sites Enforced 53 Check-Mate Checkers as part of GM workflow Check-Mate used as CAD Data Assessment Tool More than 200,000 NX parts assessed weekly using check-mate batch mode Significant improvement in Math data quality
GM Quick Validation RoadmapTo Achieve CAD Data Quality CURRENT STATE FUTURE STATE Design Function Checks (RDDV) Fabrication Process Checks Modeling Best Practice Checks Geometry Integrity Checks File Organization Checks Phase2 Phase1 Phase3 Phase4 Phase5 Value (Time\Cost\Quality) Scope
Simple GM Validation Workflow Designer Create Item Revisionin Teamcenter Design in NX Release in Tc Execute Check-Matein NX
Validation Technology GMNA – DCS File Checker (Mostly File Organization Checks) GME – SQS/DQS (Mostly Structure / Data Checks) Retiring different GM custom validation tools at different regional sites Accepted Solution Check-Mate as globally agreed upon CAD validation tool Challenge Advantages • Validation framework that is supported, enhanced and maintained by Siemens • Better error reporting (tree structure, failed objects, external log files) • Performs Validation on Assemblies/Folders (Native and Teamcenter) • Check-Mate execution from command line
Business Processes Checks Vs. Workflow Different checks required at different sites for releasing data Accepted Solution “Global Quality Seal” Profile consisting 53 globally agreed upon checkers (File Organization and Data Structure Checkers to begin with ) Challenge Advantages • CAD Data validated to globally agreed upon GM data creation standards • Smooth data sharing between global sites • Global regions now speak same validation language
Integration with Teamcenter • Enforcement • Saving Checking Results • (Teamcenter/NX ?) • Teamcenter Groups and Checking Results? • Importing Native CAD Data and Validation Results? Challenge • Accepted Solutionand Advantages • Check-Mate results are saved in NX part file and in Teamcenter • Different groups can execute different Profiles and still can be enforced using Tc XML rule file • With Tc 2007.1 validation can be performed from Tc product structure editor • NX 5 now will create validation objects when native data is imported to Tc
Tc Validation Results SummaryExample Status Result NX Dataset Checker/Profile Class Name
Generic Validation Rule Set ContentExample • Tc Group • Owning Group of the Item Revision • “All, All-Except, None, None-Except” logic • Dataset Type • Dataset type to Validate • Profiles to validate/acceptable results • Profile Name: Passed/Run
Teamcenter Rule File ItemsExample • Baseline Rule File Item: • AKP62495 • All WIP Item Revisions validated to same checks • Hard Release Rule File Item: • AKP86750 • WIP Item Revisions can be validated to different checks based upon Owning Group of Item Revision and Dataset Type • Replicated to the following sites: • GMTG_Production, GMPT_Production, GMSA, ISUZU_Production, GMM_Production, GM_Suzuki, Holden_Prod, JCI_Warren, IMC-141231374, Torrance, GMB-S.CAETANO, GMCL-REC_Production, FCA_HF_Production, SaabTDC1, GMPTE, GMDAT, EDAG_GME, Manuf_Production, GM-Strasbourg, GMIDEL_Production (Master in SCG001)
Check-Mate Performance Checking Time + Result Display Time Check-Mate checking time is on higher side as compared to our legacy NX/Open validation tools Challenge • Accepted Solution (Functional and Core Architecture) • Set environment variables that limits display of failed objects in check-mate results window • UGCHECKMATE_MAX_DISPLAY_ENTITIES • UGCHECKMATE_MAX_LOG_ENTITIES • Skip “read-only/released” NX part from checking • Skip part files having check-mate flag PASS and Up-To-Date • Set environment variable that will not bring-up results window when checking is complete • UGII_CHECKMATE_AUTO_SHOW_RESULTS
