  • Scalable multi-user CAD system and apparatus
    Patent number: 9779184
    Abstract: A system for scalable multi-user CAD may include a traffic consolidation server consolidating feature edits from CAD workstations editing one or more proximate regions of an engineering object. The traffic consolidation servers may transmit feature changes to other workstations editing the proximate regions of the engineering object while forwarding the feature changes to a CAD model server. CAD model servers may be configured to receive consolidated feature changes pertaining to an assigned region of the engineering object. An assignment server may balance processing loads on traffic consolidation servers. Methods and apparatus corresponding to the above system are also disclosed herein.
    Type: Grant
