Well let me put it this way. Aveva as some other companies bid, of try to bid integrated engineering packages, that means not only 3D Tool such as PDMS(E3D) but also Application to store and manage engineering data, diagrams and so on. Normally there are three main pillars in integrated engineering, 3D data, engineering data , and diagrams, if one company has all three in one system, then the system can be controlled, quality enhanced, work without interruptions , or let me say holes in the system, and these holes or gaps always make problems and are source of majority of problems during the planning process.
Catalog in engineering databases together with programs for automatic catalogue (CATA) creation and additionally for SPEC creation save a lot of time and money. Also data from known vendors in one such a system allows to automate processes such a procurement, purchase, control, schedule checks...
Engineering data in form of various UDA-s can be stored in Engineering and propagated on need into PDMS or some other programs , there is no need to manage attributes in PDMS except native PDMS attributes that are important only for layout so for 3D. Results of the calculations performed in some dedicated programs can be stored in Engineering and managed further , so the same story as with UDA-s.
