3D PLM Enterprise Architecture

User Interface

The User Interface modeler deals with the Wintop, Webtop, and Thin Webtop user interfaces. Wintop is made up of Frame objects offered to applications thanks to the ApplicationFrame and CATIAApplicationFrame frameworks, interactive Commands thanks to the DialogEngine framework, and dialog windows and boxes thanks to the Dialog framework. Wintop is made up of CATLets and commands in the Portal thanks to the JApplicationFrame and PortalBase frameworks. Thin Webtop is made up of a new Java dialog platform.
