<\/p>\nDifferent types of engineers typically work differently.\u00a0 Though electrical engineers work in a totally different way than mechanical engineers, today\u2019s complex design projects require tighter integration between the two disciplines.\u00a0 As design is changing at a rapid pace, and products need to be developed quicker, disparate engineering teams MUST work closer together.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One of the largest challenges our customers face is that the ways in which these teams save their data is very different.\u00a0 Electrical engineers maintain libraries of data and save out project work to shared drives.\u00a0 Mechanical engineers typically use SOLIDWORKS PDM<\/a> workflow to manage part files and track who works on or uses a file.\u00a0 Every group has people who like to save locally.\u00a0 How do we bring all this data together and manage it simultaneously?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We understand this issue and are excited to show a synchronized library solution to have Electrical and Mechanical Engineers working better together\u2026in harmony.\u00a0 Well, at least their files.<\/p>\n I have created this video to show how this works.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/solidworksblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/bom-1-615x364.png\")
