EMUG Tech delivers six engineering automation service areas: CAD customisation and automation for NX, Solid Edge, Creo, and CATIA using their native APIs; CAE automation and data integrity tools for simulation pre/post-processing and results extraction; assembly DMU and clearance check tools for digital mockup review automation; design quality check toolkits enforcing modelling standards and drawing requirements automatically; engineering productivity accelerators automating high-volume engineering workflows; and custom engineering platforms replacing manual processes and spreadsheet-based engineering tools. All programmes follow the EMUG GEARS Framework — five phases covering Gather, Engineer, Automate, Release, and Scale.

EMUG GEARS is the five-phase engineering automation delivery methodology: Gather — engineering workflow mapping, effort quantification, and automation opportunity scoring; Engineer — automation solution design and technical architecture per CAD and PLM platform; Automate — tool development, unit testing, and documentation; Release — integration testing, UAT, deployment, and user training; Scale — adoption monitoring, productivity measurement, and next-wave automation planning. GEARS ensures engineering automation tools are built around real engineering workflows — not generic automation scripts — and delivers above 80 percent adoption within 30 days of go-live.

EMUG Tech develops engineering automation across all four major mechanical CAD platforms using their native programming APIs: Siemens NX (NX Open API in C++ and Python for journal and application development); PTC Creo (Creo Toolkit in C/C++ for deep integration and Creo Parametric automation); Dassault CATIA V5 and V6/3DEXPERIENCE (CAA V5 in C++ and VSTA for V6, covering Part Design, Assembly Design, and Drawing automation); and Solid Edge (Solid Edge API in .NET and VBA for document management, assembly automation, and drawing automation). Multi-platform automation programmes covering NX and CATIA, or Creo and Solid Edge in the same engineering organisation, are an EMUG Tech specialty.

CAD automation uses the CAD platform’s programming API to execute repetitive modelling, drawing, and data management tasks automatically — replacing manual mouse-and-keyboard operations with code that runs in seconds. Engineering tasks that CAD automation addresses include: parametric model creation from design specifications or spreadsheet inputs; drawing creation and annotation from 3D model data; BOM extraction and formatting for PLM import; model quality checking against corporate standards; CAD attribute population from PLM metadata; file format conversion and neutral format export; and assembly configuration management automation. EMUG Tech’s CAD automation tools are developed using the native API of each platform (NX Open, Creo Toolkit, CAA, Solid Edge API) rather than macro recording — producing robust tools that handle complex geometry and multi-body assemblies.

Design quality check toolkits are automated tools that verify CAD models and drawings against corporate modelling standards, design rules, and quality requirements — running checks at model save, drawing creation, or pre-release rather than waiting for manual design review. Quality checks that toolkits automate include: model structure validation (correct feature tree organisation, naming conventions, reference geometry usage); geometric quality checks (free curves, under-constrained geometry, invalid surfaces); drawing standard compliance (title block population, view standards, annotation completeness); and PLM data quality checks (mandatory attribute population, naming convention compliance, revision policy adherence). Engineering teams need quality check toolkits because manual design reviews consistently miss these issues under time pressure, creating rework when errors are discovered at late-stage design review or after PLM release.

Digital Mockup (DMU) is the virtual assembly of all components in a product to validate fit, clearance, and packaging — replacing physical prototype builds with digital assembly validation. DMU and clearance check automation tools automate the time-consuming aspects of DMU review: automated clash detection across all component pairs in an assembly with configurable clearance thresholds; clearance report generation with clash location, severity, and affected components; kinematic motion simulation for mechanisms to detect dynamic interference; and automated comparison between design revisions to identify new clashes introduced by engineering changes. EMUG Tech builds DMU and clearance check tools integrated with Teamcenter Vis, NX Assembly, CATIA DMU, and 3DEXPERIENCE visualisation — making DMU review a scheduled automated process rather than a manual engineering activity.

EMUG Tech designs engineering automation tools with PLM integration from the Gather phase — not as an afterthought. PLM integration patterns for engineering tools include: reading PLM item attributes and BOM data to drive automation logic (tool reads part number, material, and revision from Teamcenter to configure the model automatically); saving automation outputs directly to PLM (check results, neutral format files, reports saved to the correct PLM item without manual upload); triggering PLM workflow events on tool completion (design check pass triggers PLM review workflow automatically); and reading PLM workflow context to present relevant tool functions (tool shows different check sets for preliminary vs released design stages). All PLM integration uses the PLM system’s documented REST API or SDK (Teamcenter Services, Windchill REST, 3DEXPERIENCE web services) for upgrade-resilient integration.
