PLM exchange formats Shipped

Geometry interchange (STEP / IGES / BREP / IFC / glTF / STL / OBJ / 3MF / USD) ingests via the cad-worker. PLMXML and 3DXML are routed and metadata-extracted. Vendor-native NX (.prt / .asm), CATIA (.catpart / .catproduct), Creo (.prt), SOLIDWORKS (.sldprt / .sldasm), and AutoCAD (.dwg) files Extract natively when the customer brings their own License — see the "BYOL CAD sidecar" card below. Solid Edge (.par / .psm) is routed today and gains the same native-extraction BYOL adapter per-customer-demand.

• STEP
• IGES
• BREP
• IFC
• PLMXML
• 3DXML
• glTF
• STL
• OBJ
• USD

ALM Requirements (ReqIF) Shipped

OMG Requirements Interchange Format (.reqif / .reqifz) ingests via the office-document-worker's ReqIF branch and lands as structured Requirement records. That covers DOORS Next, Polarion, codebeamer, Jama Connect, and any other ALM tool that publishes its Requirements set as ReqIF — which is most of them.

• IBM DOORS Next
• Siemens Polarion
• PTC Codebeamer
• Jama Connect

CAE simulation Models & results Shipped

Functional Mock-up Units (.fmu, FMI 2.0 / 3.0) ingest via the FMPy-based fmu-worker. Nastran bulk-data decks (.bdf / .dat) and meshes ingest via the scientific-worker (pyNastran + meshio). Vendor-native binary solver outputs (Abaqus .odb, Ansys result files, Simulink .slx) are routed and quarantined for vendor-side conversion before downstream extraction.

• FMU (FMI 2.0/3.0)
• Nastran BDF
• Meshes (UNV, VTK, MED)
• Abaqus .inp
• Ansys .cdb
• OpenFOAM .foam
• Fluent .cas
• Abaqus ODB*
• Simulink SLX*

ERP / MES exports Shipped

Bill-of-material drops (CSV / XLSX / TSV / JSON), routing sheets, work-order manifests, and vendor master extracts ingest via the structured-worker and land into the operational_data domain with per-column sensitivity classification. SAP, Oracle EBS / Fusion, Microsoft Dynamics, Infor, and IFS all publish in these formats by default for downstream BI — so the export path covers the common case without a vendor connector.

• CSV / TSV
• XLSX
• JSON / JSONL
• Parquet
• IDoc XML

MBSE / SysML Models Gated OFF

OMG XMI (.xmi / .xml) exports from MBSE tools ingest as structured-XML; SysML v2 KerML text format is parsed by the same pipeline. Diagrams embedded as images are routed through the VLM worker for caption extraction. Tested with Cameo Systems Modeler and No Magic / 3DS CATIA Magic — your model-library round-trip should be validated against your specific profile.

• Cameo / 3DS CATIA Magic
• Capella XMI
• SysML v2 KerML

Process, Traceability & Co-Simulation Standards Gated OFF

Native parsing of open engineering and operations standards, so process, traceability and system-structure data ingest without a vendor SDK: OCEL 2.0 object-centric event logs (process conformance), GS1 EPCIS 2.0 traceability events (lot / serial / shipment genealogy), and SSP 2.0.1 System Structure & Parameterization for co-simulation architectures. Each is a gated, default-off, air-gap-clean connector — enable it per source.

• OCEL 2.0
• GS1 EPCIS 2.0
• SSP 2.0.1

Structural steel, plant piping & PCB Gated OFF

Native parsing of open structural-steel, plant-piping and PCB interchange — no CAD tool, no dependency, air-gap safe. Steel detailing lands from SDNF (.sdnf) and CIS/2 (.cis2) into one shared steel graph. Plant piping ingests ISOGEN Piping Component Files (.pcf) and CAESAR II pipe-stress neutral files (.cii). PCB board layout ingests IDF (.idf). Navisworks file sets (.nwf) map their appended member models, and AVEVA PDMS / E3D review models (.rvm) reconstruct the SITE / ZONE / equipment hierarchy. Each is a gated, default-off connector.

• SDNF
• CIS/2
• ISOGEN PCF
• CAESAR II
• PCB IDF
• Navisworks NWF
• AVEVA RVM

Japanese OEM & industry data Gated OFF

Japanese-OEM data readiness across engineering and business systems — every reader is in-house, air-gap safe, and gated default-off. A Shift-JIS / CP932 / EUC-JP / ISO-2022-JP decode layer means legacy Japanese exports land as clean text, not 文字化け (mojibake). chemSHERPA-AI / -CI (.shai / .shci) substance-in-product declarations become a governed article → material → substance graph with CAS number and mass-ppm concentration for RoHS / REACH / ELV / SCIP evidence (extracted as declared data, not a compliance certification). Construction CAD lands from SXF (.sfc / .sxf — JACIC/OCF, the MLIT public-works & i-Construction exchange) and JWW (.jww — Jw_cad, the dominant free JP 2D CAD). Business data reads Zengin (全銀) fixed-width transfer / payment batches and 流通BMS retail EDI (XML) into transaction, line and trading-party records. Each is a gated, default-off connector — enable it per source.

• Shift-JIS / CP932
• chemSHERPA
• SXF
• JWW
• Zengin (全銀)
• 流通BMS

Generic SQL / warehouse pull Shipped

For enterprise Systems that publish a read-only SQL view of their tables — Teamcenter on top of Oracle, ARAS Innovator on top of Microsoft SQL Server, Windchill on top of Oracle, SAP S/4HANA via the embedded Postgres / HANA bridge, IFS on top of Oracle — kiLM connects through the warehouse-puller (Snowflake / BigQuery / Databricks native, Postgres / MSSQL / Oracle via JDBC) and federates the queries into the search + graph stores. Per-table annotation locks the sensitivity tier per column.

Siemens Teamcenter Shipped

Native pull via Teamcenter Active Workspace JSON-REST (TC Server API): parts, items, BOMs, and change notices — polled on a configurable tick and staged into the manufacturing domain with canonical BOM extraction. BYOL — Teamcenter is customer-owned and customer-licensed; kiLM bundles no Siemens SDK (HTTP/JSON only). Covers both on-prem / self-hosted Active Workspace (cookie session, intranet, air-gap OK) and Teamcenter X (Xcelerator SaaS) via OAuth2 — cloud calls pass the egress policy + SSRF guard and are vetoed in air-gapped installs. Default off; enable the gate after configuring the gateway URL + service account.

Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE Shipped

Native pull via the 3DSpace REST web services: EngItems, documents, and BOM structure — staged into the manufacturing domain with canonical BOM extraction. BYOL — 3DEXPERIENCE is customer-owned and customer-licensed; kiLM bundles no Dassault SDK (HTTP/JSON only). Covers on-prem / private-cloud 3DSpace behind 3DPassport (cookie login, intranet, air-gap OK) and 3DEXPERIENCE-on-Cloud (SaaS) via 3DPassport OAuth2 — cloud calls are egress-policy gated and air-gap-vetoed. Default off; enable the gate after configuring the 3DSpace URL + service account.

Aras Innovator Shipped

Native pull via the Aras IOM OData REST API with OAuth2 password-grant auth: Items, ItemTypes, Part BOMs, ECNs, Document records — polled on a configurable tick (default every 6 hours) and staged into the manufacturing domain. Aras Community Edition is free, so no per-seat License token is consumed for read-only Ingestion; the unnamed service-account pattern also keeps Enterprise Edition deployments off the named-user count. Configure auth URL + service account + tick interval from the customer-side Admin UI — no file editing required. Polled changes only (no event hooks yet). Native Teamcenter, Windchill, and 3DEXPERIENCE PLM connectors now ship on the same pattern (see below).

PTC Windchill Shipped

Native pull via Windchill REST Services (OData domain APIs): parts, documents, and BOM structure — staged into the manufacturing domain with canonical BOM extraction. BYOL — Windchill is customer-owned and customer-licensed; kiLM bundles no PTC SDK or Info*Engine task (HTTP/JSON, GET-based reads). Covers on-prem / private-cloud Windchill (HTTP Basic, intranet, air-gap OK) and Windchill+ / PTC Atlas (SaaS) via OAuth2 — cloud calls are egress-policy gated and air-gap-vetoed. Default off; enable the gate after configuring the Windchill REST URL + service account.

SAP S/4HANA & ECC Planned

Native pull via SAP OData services (S/4HANA Cloud + Business Suite gateways) for material masters, BOMs, purchase orders, and work orders. Today the export-driven CSV / XLSX / IDoc-XML path covers most BI use cases; the native connector adds live document-flow walks and event-driven CDC.

Oracle E-Business Suite & Fusion Planned

Native pull via Oracle Fusion REST / BICC extracts + EBS Integrated SOA Gateway. Today the warehouse-puller (Oracle via JDBC) handles read-only inventory; the native connector adds event subscriptions for procure-to-pay and order-to-cash.

Siemens Polarion (ALM) Planned

Native pull via the Polarion REST API: work items, document trees, traceability links, baselines. Today the ReqIF export path (Shipped above) handles the Requirements set; the native connector adds traceability graph walks and baseline snapshots.

IBM DOORS / DOORS Next Planned

Native pull via OSLC-RM (DOORS Next) and DXL bridge (classic DOORS). Today the ReqIF export path handles Requirements content; the native connector adds OSLC link traversal across DOORS Next configurations.

Cameo / 3DS CATIA Magic (MBSE) Planned

Native pull via the Cameo Collaborator REST API + Teamwork Cloud OSLC. Today the XMI export path covers static Model snapshots; the native connector adds project-on-server diffs and reviewer-comment threads.

Ansys Minerva & Granta Planned

Native pull from Ansys Minerva simulation-process-and-data management and Granta materials Intelligence. Today FMU / Nastran exports cover specific deliverables; the native connector adds simulation lineage + materials selection records.

PTC Codebeamer live REST v3 Shipped

Read-only intranet pull of tracker items and relations via Codebeamer REST API v3 (not OSLC). Scheduled asyncio worker, not Temporal. ReqIF remains the air-gap fallback. Default off; not license-locked. Training data is stamped excluded by default. Source-ACL capture at ingest is available. Polarion and DOORS Next live OSLC pullers remain on the roadmap.

OpenBOM live REST Shipped

Read-only internet pull of OpenBOM SaaS BOM documents via REST. License-locked; not air-gap. Distinct from the PLMXML / STEP-AP242 file path. No OpenBOM SDK and no write-back. Default off. Enable after configuring the OpenBOM app key and secret or access token.

Sparx Enterprise Architect OSLC Shipped

Read-only intranet pull of packages, elements, and connectors via Pro Cloud Server OSLC Architecture Management 2.0. XMI remains the air-gap fallback. Not Codebeamer REST v3. Default off; not license-locked.

AVEVA PI Web API Shipped

Read-only intranet catalogue of Asset Framework elements, templates, PI points, and Event Frames. Does not ingest tag values, streams, or historian samples. PI Server stays the system of record for timeseries. HTTP Basic, Bearer, or Kerberos / Negotiate. No AF SDK; no write-back. Default off; not license-locked.

AVEVA Historian REST Shipped

Read-only intranet OData catalogue of tags, IOServers, and alarm/event metadata. Does not ingest process values or snapshots. Not PI Web API and not CONNECT. HTTP Basic, Bearer, or Kerberos / Negotiate. Default off; not license-locked.

AVEVA MES REST Shipped

Read-only intranet pull of work orders, equipment, and material lots. Discrete genealogy only — no timeseries or OEE samples. Distinct from B2MML file import. HTTP Basic, Bearer, or Kerberos / Negotiate. Default off; not license-locked.

BYOL CAD sidecar — NX, CATIA, Creo, SOLIDWORKS, AutoCAD & Cadence shipped Shipped

The customer brings their own CAD vendor License + install; the platform mounts the install as a sidecar and invokes each vendor's official headless/batch mode (for NX, CATIA, Creo, SOLIDWORKS, AutoCAD and Cadence) to Extract the Model natively — not converted to STEP. Each part emits a JSON sidecar with the feature tree (bounded), parameters, materials with density & mechanical properties, PMI / annotations, assembly & BOM structure, custom attributes, and geometric summary. The platform never ships a CAD kernel, vendor SDK, or License. Single-tenant by design. Per-vendor license-token concurrency cap (default 1, configurable). Customer-side admin configures everything from a central "BYOL Tool Configuration" interface — install dir, License server, tier — no manual config-file editing needed. STEP / Parasolid / 3DXML / IGES export remain available as opt-in workflows when downstream geometry rendering is genuinely needed. Shipped today: NX (Siemens), CATIA V5/V6 (Dassault), Creo (PTC), SOLIDWORKS (Dassault), AutoCAD (Autodesk), and Cadence Allegro / OrCAD / Virtuoso. SOLIDWORKS and AutoCAD run on a Windows host. Cadence uses the same sidecar image with a native SKILL journal. Solid Edge ships on the same rich-extraction pattern per-customer-demand.

Cloud translation & BIM (BYOL) — Autodesk APS, Bentley iTwin, Tekla Gated OFF

Bring-your-own-license paths for formats only the vendor's own engine reads faithfully. Autodesk APS (Forge) Model Derivative translates native part formats (.ipt / .sldprt / .x_t / .x_b / .sat and more) to neutral geometry using the customer's own Autodesk subscription — cloud-based and requires internet egress to Autodesk, so it is excluded on air-gapped installs. Tekla (.db1) reads locally through the Tekla Open API (the customer's own Tekla install) — no internet, air-gap OK, license-locked — and reuses the SDNF / CIS-2 steel graph. Bentley iTwin iModel (.imodel) is wired as a BYOL seam, with the live reader on the roadmap. kiLM bundles no vendor SDK or license; each is default-off until configured.

Verified Community Models Shipped

Examples we validate out of the box — CPU-only: Phi-3 mini, Llama 3.1 8B. Workstation GPU: Mixtral 8x7B (q4). Datacenter GPU: Qwen 2.5 72B, DeepSeek-Coder 67B, Llama 4 Scout (q4, ~109B total / 17B active). Vision: LLaVA. All released under permissive open licenses and validated by kiLM on the corresponding hardware tier. Prefer a different or newer model? Bring it — the registry is open.

• phi3:mini
• llama3.1
• mixtral:8x7b
• qwen2.5:72b
• deepseek-coder:67b
• llama-4-scout
• llava

Newer Frontier Models (Operator-verify-required) Preview

The registry also seeds newer community frontier models, each carrying the verify_by_operator flag. Their sizing figures — VRAM, context, runtime class — are placeholders kiLM has not measured, so the hardware-aware router skips these rows entirely rather than routing a turn onto numbers it cannot stand behind. Your admin reviews and clears the values in the model registry (Admin → Model Registry), and only then does the router consider the model. This keeps the registry forward-looking without kiLM promising anything it has not independently validated.

• glm-5.1
• kimi-k2.6
• gemma-4-31b
• qwen-3.6
• deepseek-v4

Hardware-aware router Shipped

The runtime router classifies your install into one of five hardware tiers — CPU-only, consumer GPU, workstation GPU, datacenter GPU, and multi-GPU — and picks the most-capable model that fits. It re-checks the available GPUs automatically, and your admin can override the tier from the admin console. Every fallback is recorded with a reason, so you can audit why a particular turn used a smaller model.

QLoRA Fine-Tuning (Unsloth) Shipped

Fine-tune any registry model that supports it, using the bundled Unsloth QLoRA worker. A hardware-aware pre-flight refuses jobs that would exceed the available GPU memory, so you never start a training run that can't finish. Results become first-class registry entries the router can pick from immediately.
