Product design department has experienced engineers who can support the core design teams in various activities during product design phase and act as enablers to help design teams focus on the main design activities and thus, not only, help to improve the design quality but also reduce the design time.
Department capabilities include:
- Legacy data conversion
- Conversion of paper drawings into CAD (UG, Pro-E, Catia and AutoCAD)
- Design modifications - Regularize changes in designs (EC) by
- Identification of affected parts/ drawings
- Doing modifications in layouts, assemblies, parts and drawings
- Tolerance analysis and Interference checks
- Bill of material and change updations
- Obsoleteness and supercedence of the components
- Layouting, modeling and detailing (3D/2D) - Taking design specifications and reference CAD data as inputs for a new product design, creation of
- Layouts, assemblies and parts (models and drawings)
- Casting and manufacturing drawings
- PandID and GA drawings
- Clearance analysis - Identification of interferences, minimum/ maximum clearances, tool and assembly clearances
- Reverse engineering - Creation of design drawings in case of missing design data and availability of a physical component. The process includes
- Cloud point data generation (using 3D scanner)
- Creation of surface model and its 3D model
- Creation of 2D Drawings
- Modeling to support analysis - Activities related to creation of FE models (before start of pre-processing) like
- Geometry clean ups (removal of unwanted features)
- Modeling for flow analysis
- Mid plane extraction
- Configuration Management (PDM) - It involves
- Data migration into PDM
- Bill of material updation based on design changes (ECN)
- New product bill of material creation (NPI)
- Tempaltization and part libraries - Creation of intelligent and easily modifiable templates for
- Components
- Product assemblies
- Component manufacturing process with fixtures/ jigs/ gauges/ tools
- Hardware libraries
