Unique FELXI Approach to Design Automation on PTC Creo

Design Automation helps Organisation to Automate the Designs for different product variants. The process of Requirement Gathering- Calculation- Design- IterationsManufacturing Drawings- Check list..is captured, automated and generated.
We bring you a live case study of Automation of Dynamic Pass Box - with a UNIQUE FLEXI Design Approach using Simple Tools in Creo Software Solution.

About DPB : Dynamic Pass Box is designed to provide functional support of controlling ingress of particulate contamination in clean room environment as well as in other controlled environment. They allow materials to be efficiently transferred into controlled environment without need of personnel movement avoiding any contamination.

Intent for Automation:
DPB - 8 Main Variants, with 21 type door orientations per Variant.
3 DWG per Door = 72 DWGs.( part drawings) for 24 door orientation
Automation of Dwg Templates- 2D Drawings, Auto updation of Sheet Metal Parts Developed Length, Auto renaming & Part dwg for individual parts- Auto print to PDF, Auto delete of Unwanted Parts from generated new variant assembly

Design Methodology :

• Parameters & Design Variants Captured - Assembly Construction using Bottom Up Approach of Design.
• Master Model with all foreseen combinations generated.
• Input parameter thru Flexi Approach GUI - drives Master model & New Variant is generated .
• Auto deletion of Excess / unwanted parts-assembly - w.o manual intervention.
• New Master Assembly drive > Parts drives > Manufacturing 2D Drawings.. Check list .. BOM.. FLEXI Approach Solution Structure.

Benefits of FLEXI Approach :

1. Flexi Approach allows to Add up New Design Variants in the Excel Based GUI (with min. MS Excel Knowledge) & in Master Assembly (with min. Creo Knowledge) - and derive New Variants from the new set of Inputs
2. Rigid Automation - Does not allow for new inclusions.
3. Option for New Variants - to become a part of Existing Library - For Re Use..
4. Low Software investment since Pro program available in AAX with Creo Basic. Application tool kit is not needed

Augment Your Product Design Reality

Adroitec offers you the Creo 4.0*, to turn your digital design into physical reality. The key is Augmented Reality(AR).Picture an immersive design review where you could experience your design in the real world, one where a single click summoned a 3D representation of your product. We’ve integrated Creo with ThingWorx Studio,  world-leading AR platform from PTC . With a few clicks, you can author and publish an AR experience right from Creo without additional programming skills. For more details, connect us @ AR ADROITEC

User Interactive 3D Parts Catalogue

Adroitec's 3D Visualization services includes creation of User interactive 3D Parts catalogue in which the user get to have a complete freedom to interact with the products 3D Model on a browser interface. It incorporated lot of vital features like, interactivity, details, dynamic search thru visual and text.

ADD: Adroitec Design Diagnosis

Adroitec Engineering Solutions presents "ADROITEC DESIGN DIAGNOSIS" service . ADD, though it's easy to use browser interface facilitates, designers to create better models and hence efficient and reusable design. ADD helps you examine whether, CREO Parametric parts, assemblies, and drawings , adhere to the organization's standards and best practices. Upon diagnosis of a non-conformance, designer is notified with the same.  The designers gets a report of identified problem , and can often correct them automatically , within the same interface.  

Leverage exptertise in PTC CREO View

Most engineers are living in a 3D world. The CAD models they build as part of the design process are 3D as are the simulations  that prove out those concepts and the realistic prototypes output with, you guessed it, 3D printers working off the same 3D data. Yet outside of engineering—in manufacturing departments, throughout the supply chain, even within service—the 3D model has  yet to become the holy grail. In fact, it’s more likely that 2D drawings are the go to resource for information about a particular product design.

 As a result, organizations are not poised to capitalize on the myriad benefits of the Model-Based Enterprise, a vision for a collaborative environment with a 3D product definition as the definitive information resource for activities spanning a product’s complete lifecycle.As standards evolve for 3D models to embed other types of non geometric data product and manufacturing information (PMI) such as geometric dimensions and tolerances, materials information, and surface finishes, among other items—pioneering companies like Toyota and Boeing have gone on record with claims that a MBE approach can translate into a 50% reduction in costs. The savings are due to the efficiencies and increased accuracy of leveraging the 3D product definition for everything from setting up manufacturing workflows to inspecting parts and creating process planning instructions.

A model-based definitions help companies save time, eliminate scrap, and promote reuse since engineers are devoting fewer hours to creating, clarifying or fixing documentation, they have more time to spend on actual design and engineering work, which leads to better products. A model-based approach to have particular value for developing and managing families of products and their variants.

The research showed companies delivering 23% more projects on time at 62% lower cost compared to organizations using MBE alternative approaches.Invest in the right tools. CAD is at the crux of an MBE, but the CAD tool has to be agnostic so it can work with a variety of CAD data and it has to have options for annotating the 3D CAD model with data required by downstream users in manufacturing. PTC Creo View MCAD, for example, provides a way to publish design intent from a 3D CAD model into a format that can be easily viewed and interrogated by downstream users, including selective geometry, dimensions, and tolerances. Further, the PTC Creo View Design Check option replaces the redlining/pen and paper-based process with a digital tool that maintains an electronic marking history of all design check cycles.
PTC Creo View Design Check replaces traditional  redlining and paper-based processes.

PTC Creo design automation reduces Legacy Data Cleaning time by 85%

How ZF Steering is using PTC Creo automation solution for designing of Steering components

Moving to Windchill , our biggest challenge was to manually clean huge legacy data and eliminate errors. Required a template and automation tool to reduce time….

Initiatives and Results

Design-Reuse

Initiative: Use design templates to reduce time for new designs.

Legacy Data cleaning

Initiative: Reduce time for Legacy data cleaning  and faster loading of data to Windchill. 

Result: 80-85% improvement in Legacy Design Standardization time.

Eliminate Error

Initiative: Eliminate errors in terms of manual based filling attributes and information to 3D Models

Result:  With PTC Creo Model  Check, resolving Model issues,  Attribute Addition, etc. happens with a single action. 

PTC Creo Model Check & Automation capabilities helped us to Standardize more designs in less time. We have saved approx. 85% time…..
