Benefit Evaluation of New Technologies

In business theory there are no suitable benefit evaluation procedures for new technologies (e.g. CAD/CAM systems, EDM/PDM systems) in product development. Another problem is the missing process orientation as well as an inadmissible mix of quantifiable and qualitative benefits (if they are not be even neglected). Hence, the results are difficult to comprehend ([Schabacker, 2001], [Bauer, 1995]).Copyright

Optimize Engineering Processes With Simultaneous Engineering (SE) and Concurrent Engineering (CE)

The appropriate handling of time becomes one of the most important factors for industry to success because of globalization and market competition. Engineering processes should be optimized to achieve shorter “time to market”. This paper deals with Simultaneous Engineering (SE), which means parallelizing formerly serial executed product development processes, and Concurrent Engineering (CE), which means to cut processes into smaller sub processes or activities and parallelize them, both to achieve less product development time. The parallelization degree of processes depends on the dependencies between these processes. Therefore, the dependency between processes is defined and quantified. Processes are parallelized according to the result of the dependency calculation. Related concepts, methods and possible results are described in detail. An example is given about a home appliance product design processes to explain how the method works. The result shows that, with SE and CE, industry can reduce its product throughput time. The result depends also on how processes are modeled and how Concurrent Engineering is achieved.Copyright

INSIDES: A New Design and Simulation Platform for Virtual Prototyping in Automotive and Aerospace Industry

Human Machine Interactions Systems (HMI) are decisive for acceptance and safety of new cockpits in the automotive as well as in the aerospace industries. A new design and simulation platform called INSIDES will be presented where virtual cockpit prototypes are being built based on 3D CAD geometry e.g. from CATIA and integrated with logical interaction data derived from UML specifications. This new development platform enables the continuous validation and check of new interaction concepts by involving usability engineers in the very early stage of the development cycle. Since the simulation work is being done in the context of the entire aircraft cockpit / car interior with all instruments, control commands as well as displays devices a better validation of HMI systems can be achieved.Copyright

Mittelstandsinitiative „PDM produktiv!“

Kurzfassung Mit der Kampagne „PDM produktiv!“ wollen COMPASS systems GmbH, PROCAD GmbH & Co. KG und die Microsoft Deutschland GmbH das Thema Produktdatenmanagement (PDM) zu einem Leitthema bei mittelständischen Unternehmen der Investitionsgüterindustrie machen. Auftakt der außergewöhnlichen Aktion ist ein PDM-Wettbewerb – der größte und mit über 150.000 EURO bestdotierte „Award“ in Sachen PDM, der für die Mittelstandsunternehmen ausgeschrieben wurde.

EVALUATION OF THE BENEFIT YIELD OF TECHNOLOGY PROJECTS

This paper describes a potential procedure model for the evaluation of technology projects. Usually, experience figures from previous projects are hardly available for developing innovative products and services. That is why the net present value method and the value-based management approach, which are often applied in practice, cannot give a forecast of prospective netto cash flows and cannot estimate the expected yield of the technology project. By the help of this procedure model and the BAPM® -method from [Schabacker, 2001], which evaluates the benefit yield of the applied technologies, the benefit yield of a technology project can be evaluated now.Copyright

User Defined Features (UDF)

User Defined Features sind anwenderdefinierte Formelemente. UDF werden einmalig in einem Einzelteil erzeugt und sind dann in anderen Einzelteilen wiederverwendbar. Dazu werden UDF in Bibliotheken abgelegt und stehen somit einem oder mehreren Nutzern zur Verfugung. So lassen sich oft genutzte Features oder Gruppen von Features, die uber Parameter gesteuert werden, zusammenfassen und schnell aufrufen. Die Steuerparameter werden vom Nutzer definiert und erscheinen anschliesend in dem UDF-Dialog.

Kabelbaumerstellung (Harness Design)

Mit Hilfe der Funktion HARNESS DESIGN soll in diesem Kapitel anhand eines einfachen Beispiels gezeigt werden, wie ein Kabelbaum in Solid Edge erzeugt wird.

Explosion – Rendern – Animation (ERA)

In diesem Kapitel soll die Funktion ERA behandelt werden. Mithilfe dieser Funktion konnen Explosionsdarstellungen erzeugt werden. Das Rendern von CADModellen findet in dem separaten Werkzeug KeyShot statt. Des Weiteren konnen in der ERA-Umgebung Kamerapfade erstellt und in einer Animation abgespeichert werden.

Modellierung einer Schweißbaugruppe (Weldment)

Dieses Kapitel widmet sich der Schweisbaugruppe in Solid Edge. Der Inhalt dient als Erweiterung des Zusammenbaus zum Einsteigerbuch [Scha-2017] - Kapitel 5. Aus den drei Basisblechen aus Kapitel 2, einem Behalter sowie einem Silo soll eine Schweisbaugruppe entstehen, die um Schweisnahte erganzt wird.
