Design Process5Preliminary orConceptualDesignDetail DesignAssembly andProductService“The ultimate goal of a engineering designer is to give tolerances as loose aspossible while making sure the designed part meets fit, form and function”

Product Phases6Phase 1: ConceiveImagine, specify, plan, innovate• Clay models, CAD, Group Techniques, BrainstormingPhase 2: DesignDescribe, define, develop, test, analyze and validate• CAD, CAM, CAE, DFM, Reverse Engineering, Lessons Learned, FEA, CFD, Dimensioningand tolerancingPhase 3: RealizeManufacture, make, build, procure, produce, sell and deliver• CAD, CAM, CNC, Computer Aided Production EngineeringPhase 4: ServiceUse, operate, maintain, support, sustain, phase-out, retire, recycle and disposal• MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations Management)During all phases the DMU and Project Management will be used

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)7http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_Lifecycle_ManagementProvides a holistic view of anyproduct developmentPLM tries to follow a product thruits whole life; fromconceptualization, design,manufacturing, sales, use anddisposal/recycling.Key concepts for ME’s include:CADCAECAMDFMA

Programs used for PLM8 Teamcenter from Siemens (gateway to NX) Used by PW, Ford, BAE, Mercury Marine, etc.. Enovia from Dassault (gateway to Catia) Used by Boeing, PW Canada, Volvo, Airbus, Goodrich,BMW, etc..

Facts about Teamcenter/NX usage11 27 of the 30 top automotive OEMs have more than100 seats of UGS software, making UGS the leadingvendor to automotive OEMs (Original EquipmentManufacturer) 90% of the companies with more than 1,000 PLM seatsuse UGS Teamcenter The top 20 auto suppliers all use UGS CAD/CAM/CAENX solutions 60% of UGS Teamcenter seats manage data frommultiple CAD programs The company's 42,000 global clients have close to 4million installed licensed seats of UGS technologyhttp://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0BLL/is_4_22/ai_n15338621/

What is NX612 NX 6 is a CAD/CAE/CAM program with FEA exportfeatures CAD stands for Computer Aided Design CAE is Computer Aided Engineering CAM is Computer Aided Manufacturing FEA export allows to analyze the models The direct competition is Catia

Midrange Applications13 Solid Edge from Siemens SolidWorks from Dassault Autodesk Inventor from Autodesk (the makers ofAutoCAD) Creo Elements/Pro from PTC (formerly known asPro/E)

Lean Tips14 Use standard parts whenever possible Some parts are already modeled on the internet, agood starting place to search is McMaster:http://www.mcmaster.com/# Identify and engage suppliers before startingDetail Design Supplier suggestions help define more functionaldesigns and reduce cost

Before using NX you should…15 Know that modeling is different from designing. If you are able to draw a part it does not mean itworks Know a little bit of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning& Tolerancing)
