Responsable CAO, Valeo
In charge of the CATIA V5 deployment and related CAD topics for the Valeo Thermal Systems entity.
This activity includes standardization of methods and tools, their promotion (analysis, training, follow up) and support to local representatives.
Working in an international context (30+ sites in America, Asia and Europe), my three principal activities are:
- to support CAD teams,
- to provide solutions for improving the efficiency (design methods, cad processes, data quality, data management & data exchanges),
- to converge the 3 Valeo Thermal Systems entities on CAD related topics (Climate Control, Compressor, Powertrain: ~350 CATIA users)
Part of the tools used:
- CAD: CATIA V5, Ideas, ProE, UG/NX
- CAD data quality: QChecker, QMonitor, PQA, PDQNP, ModelCheck
- CAD viewer: Acrobat Pro Extended, Acrobat 3D Reviewer (previously named TTF Reviewer)
- CAD data translation: CADfix integrated to Proficiency (V5 <> Ideas/ProE/UG automated conversion)
- PLM: Enovia MatrixOne (Engineering Central, Designer Central)
2011 trainings:
- CATIA V6 Transition
- Enovia V6 VPM (Virtual Product Management)
- Enovia V6 FTR (Variant Configuration)
Acronyms:
- CAD: Computer Aided Designer
- PLM: Product Lifecycle Management
