With the help of VDI 3805 importer, manufactures from the TGA field [14] (building services for heatings, pipes, pumps, etc.) can import their VDI catalog and create a PARTsolutions catalog, which then can be provided on PARTcommunity portals. Provided download formats currently are the neutral formats STEP/IGES (3D) and DWG/DXF (2D).

Process chart

VDI 3805 controls product data exchange in the TGA by different data sheets. Each sheet defines a specific product range with details on all attributes and detailed product descriptions. As of V11 SP3 PARTsolutions supports the sheets 17, 20 and 21.

With the help of a Wizard you can simply create your own VDI catalog on the base of your VDI data.
