The typical relationship between Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and their tier-1 suppliers within the automotive industry requires that the supplier design components and sub-systems using the same Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software that the OEM is using for a given vehicle program. In some cases, the supplier is able to do design work in a different system and then translate data into the preferred system's format prior to data delivery to the OEM. The requirement to be totally compatible with their OEM customers means that suppliers incur higher costs than if they were able to use fewer different design systems. Not only do the suppliers need to maintain multiple CAD systems, but they often have to support multiple releases of each.
