3DLive.msi in a Nutshell

One of the main objectives of current 3D PLM products is to achieve a high level of integration of PLM in all user activities, from navigation to authoring, process and simulation. One aspect of this integration is the transparent accessibility to PLM information at any time on any object. The 3DLive product delivers this transparent access.

3DLive.msi, the Microsoft Installer (MSI) file generated during the installation and administration procedure described in this guide, provides the end-user the capability to load 3DLive from his intranet and to then easily access data coming from the different enterprise data sources, thus enabling the goal of accessibility to PLM information at any time on any object.

This light MSI file generated during the installation procedure described in this guide has the following characteristics:

  • single, standalone executable file containing all needed resources
  • as simple as possible to install: only critical customizations available for the user
  • no packaging, i.e. no product choice to make for the user
  • OS prerequisite checking
  • simple de-installation, integrated with Windows add/remove software feature
  • automatic de-installation of a previous installation when installing a newer one

3DLive use can enlarge the diffusion of 3D PLM to non-designers. It can greatly enhance product life cycle management by increasing collaborative work.
