Publication number: 20150213154Abstract: A method for generating a product data structure for a configurable product may include receiving a computer-aided design (CAD) model including one or more configurations of the product. Model data may be extracted from the CAD model. The extracted model data may include geometric information of product items from each configuration of the product. The extracted model data may be provided in the product data structure including product item variants and instances associated with the variants. The instances may provide geometric information extracted from the CAD model.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2014Publication date: July 30, 2015Inventors: Stephan Toebben, Guido Hoeckele, Thomas Berger

Patent number: 8117157Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for managing data. The technique includes defining a secondary data set in a primary data set, linking the secondary data set to state information of the primary data set, transmitting the secondary data set to an external entity, receiving a modified secondary data set from the external entity and linking the modified secondary data set to a version of the primary data set stored with reference to state the information. The state information defines the state of the primary data set at the time the secondary data set is defined. The link between the modified secondary data set and the primary data set allows access by a user of a modified primary data set if the primary data set has changed with reference to the state information.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2006Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Wolfgang Kalthoff, Thomas Vogt, Guenter Huber, Guido Hoeckele
