Many European automobile manufacturers and their suppliers still exchange CAD data with ENGDAT via OFTP connections. PROSTEP has developed the functionally somewhat "slimmed-down" OpenDXM GlobalX ENGDAT OFTP Edition to provide them with easy entry to the world of convenient ENGDAT/OFTP data exchange. The core components of the solution are an ENGDAT generator and interpreter for the automatic creation and analysis of ENGDAT packages, as well as an OFTP component for the secure transfer of data using the OFTP 1 or 2 protocol.
