Case Study: Ocap SpA achieves unified product data and multi‑CAD, multi‑site collaboration with Solid Edge

Using Teamcenter enables automotive supplier to deploy multi-CAD, multi-site product development system

Ocap SpA, an Italian maker of steering and suspension components, faced duplicated product data, two CAD/PDM systems and dispersed engineering sites (including an unstable link to India) that hindered OEM and aftermarket development. To resolve this, they turned to Solid Edge and the Siemens Digital Industries Software stack—deploying Teamcenter PLM for a unified archive alongside Solid Edge for CAD and Simcenter Femap for simulation—to meet multi‑CAD and multi‑site requirements.

Using Teamcenter with Solid Edge and Simcenter Femap, Ocap migrated all design data into a single, organization‑wide database with no customization required, enabling seamless multi‑CAD access across sites and rapid FEA validation early in development. The implementation eliminated rework and duplication, integrated remote India and upcoming China operations into one searchable system, and delivered faster stress-analysis turnaround so engineers can validate and correct designs much earlier.
