If I understood you correctly, the PlantLinker connector has turned into PlantLinker CAD? And can we say that it has become possible to model industrial objects using the developments that were in Smart3D: catalogs of elements, fittings, equipment?
Once again, anyone who has worked with large Western companies knows their culture and closed, somewhat aggressive nature. Aveva sold its products only through its own sales channels. And Intergraph distributed its products through partners in only two countries - Russia and Brazil.
And if we had started to present our system as a replacement for their solutions, it would have caused phone number of italy a strong reaction. So we were very careful in our statements at that time and presented PlantLinker only as a technology for transferring data between systems. And we received positive feedback, including from Intergraph's top management.
In other words, you offered your PlantLinker system not as a replacement for Smart 3D and Aveva E3D solutions, but as a complement and joint use
Not quite. The main idea was still the possibility of object-based transfer of information between different systems, since XMpLant had simply disappeared by that time.
Let's talk about your PlantLinker system. Is it possible to issue design and working documentation according to Russian standards with its help today? It is known that for engineers working in Aveva E3D and Smart 3D software, this was problematic.
I will say this: very often in Russia, in a huge number of companies, they first actually design on a flat system (AutoCAD, nanoCAD, KOMPAS), and then, at the customer’s request, they lift a 3D model from the drawings and give it to the customer.
Until 2022, we looked with horror at the release of design and working documentation and said that we would not do this.
However, in 2021, we started thinking about creating a sketching system within the company. For what purpose? Very often, for example, a technologist and a builder need to exchange various information when working on a 3D model. And these specialists need to quickly release not a drawing, but a sketch for internal use.
