The article explores how to blend different engineering software together to help with making mechanical designs and products. The focus is on saving all the product details in one big computer database. To combine design tools that don't usually work with such databases, a way to move data in and out of the database needs to be figured out. The researchers suggest a system that can understand and change a wide range of engineering data by following specific patterns. They found that using this system can help translate different types of complex engineering data more effectively.
