Containing more than 90 integrated software Separate software components or applications that have been combined into one package. See integrated software package. modules, Master Series addresses the primary areas of mechanical product development. The Orbix CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) A software-based interface from the Object Management Group (OMG) that allows software modules (objects) to communicate with each other no matter where they are located on a private network or the global technology is embedded as the underlying communications and interoperability mechanism within the Master Series design solution. This enables customers to quickly merge their design resources with their organizations' existing enterprise infrastructure. Orbix is the market and technical leading implementation of the Object Management Group's CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture (standard, programming) Common Object Request Broker Architecture - (CORBA) An Object Management Group specification which provides a standard messaging interface between distributed objects.
