METHOD FOR OPERATING A SYSTEM HAVING A PLURALITY OF CAX MODULES

A method for operating a system having a plurality of computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), and/or computer-aided testing (CAT) modules (CAx modules) is provided. The method includes identifying a CAx module which has a data transmission connection to an add-on module, and assigning a control dataset to the identified CAx module, wherein the assigned control dataset assigns a user input to at least one operating command of the identified CAx module. The method further includes loading a user input, determining the operating command associated with the loaded user input, and transmitting the determined operating command to the identified CAx module.
