Abstract: In view of the problems existing in the system integration of the current small and mediumsized enterprise CAD system and Product Data Management (PDM), CAD system and PDM system integration mode is studied, 3D CAD software SolidWorks 2010 and the small PDM system developed by author integrated function modules is designed, and packaging mode and interface mode combined with each other to realize the integration of PDM with SolidWorks is put forward, through combining interface mode and tight integration model to realize the combination of SolidWorks to PDM integration. Traversing of product structure tree is finished by calling the SolidWorks API functions, and plugin “CAD/PDM integration” is developed in the software of SolidWorks, integrating all functions of the PDM system; product structure tree is updated in the PDM system, realizing the doubleway of the SolidWorks and PDM system integration, ensuring the integrity and consistency of the data. Finally, the normal operation of the system verifies the integrated function modules design and the realization method.

Key words: Product Data Management(PDM), system integration, CAD, product structure tree
