Key Projects:

Java GUI for JT Bi Directional translator for CATIA V5

It was designed and developed to enhance the customer’s run time experience by enabling them to control around 20

configuration parameters and invoking the catiaV5 to JT translation in various modes inside an attractive GUI

embedded within CATIA V5 by creating a customized JT toolbar having various icons. It was developed using JDK1.5,

Java Swing, UML and NetBeans5.5.1 IDE. Already existing functionality in C++ application was invoked from the JAR

files using JNI. All the users at the current customer site started using this dormant functionality as it was now

available to trigger it via the GUI mode as opposed to just the previous batch mode. It also helped in attracting newer

customer base for this entire software product.

Automation of build process using Ant

A well defined build process was necessary to ensure that the software in the development project was integrated in

our daily IP builds using UDU and is executed using the ant based xml scripts.

Enabling Motion in Teamcenter Engineering

The goal of the above project was to provide an integrated solution for the VFM files creation using NGID strategy in

order to better manage & replay them in Teamcenter in a robust manner. My module enabled incorporating the

appropriate NGID on JTK nodes and vaulting the motion related files VFM and PLMXML into Teamcenter vault.

Served as a Project lead in this cross functional and globally distributed team project. Achieved the goal for this project

by investigating the code for multiple modules and with multiple teams. Researched the escalated issues taking the full

responsibility and carrying out the root cause Analysis. Identified that it was a time zone specific issue caused due to

hard coded logic in the third party add on module which was integrated in our software product.

Redesign Translator Architecture

TTK APIs were investigated and enhanced using DTK APIs.

Unicode support for the translator

Enabled usage of the translator in the international market by adding Unicode support in our software.

BOM file creation

It was developed to enhance the overall robustness and performance of Translation Server. It was used by Translation

Server for mapping the results of its particular translation back to the source input assembly files.

Enabling Arrangements, VCP and flexible components

Advanced features in NX like Arrangements was supported on JTK side by treating every sub assembly having any of

above features as a distinct assembly rather than as an instance and by creating an extra jt file using STL multimaps.
