Elysium, in partnership with Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. and iSiD Co. Ltd., has developed Product Data Quality Nissan Package or PDQ NP. PDQ NP is an I-deas NX plug-in that provides instant CAD model checking, healing and certification. Effective in 2004, Nissan will require its subsidiaries and suppliers to provide a PDQ NP guaranteed file in order to send or receive CAD model files.

This change in policy by Nissan will be implemented in phases throughout Nissan's subsidiaries. Nissan Technical Center Europe is the first Nissan subsidiary to adopt the new deployment policy.

PDQ NP is the first CAD Data Quality product that not only checks for topology, geometry and manufacturability, but provides a robust tool set for automatic healing and applies a guarantee that the inspected part meets the requirements all within the I-deas NX CAD system. Elysium's experience with I-deas NX and CAD related geometry and topology issues, allowed for rapid integration of our Data Exchange Kernel's Healing Module into PDQ NP.

PDQ NP Error Classification
PDQ NP identifies and heals the 15 critical errors identified in the Nissan Quality Guidelines. These lead to improved manufacturing and consistent quality of geometry provided to Nissan.

• Tiny Edge
• Narrow Edge
• Sharp Edge Angle

• Inconsistent Edge in Loop
• Large Edge Face Gap
• Large Face Gap
• Large Edge Gap
• Self-Intersecting Loop
• Self Intersecting surface
• Non-Smooth Segments

• Embedded Faces

Majenta are now the preferred specialist integrator for this extremely powerful system. We are working very closely with Elysium to ensure all suppliers mandated to use PDQ-NP are correctly configured and fully up to speed with the processes surrounding PDQ-NP.

So if your organization is supplying CAD data to Nissan, we need to talk about this product, what it means to you and how it can help you supply accurate data to Nissan.
