C&S Electric reduces development time by 20-30% using PTC CREO Mechanism Dynamics

How C&S Electric is using 3D modeling, Assembly design & Mechanism Dynamics for meeting excellence in Circuit Breaker Design & Development

 

Optimization in Cost

Initiative: Reduce new product development cost of physical prototypes
Result: With fewer changes in product design, prototyping cost including re-works and scrap has greatly reduced

 

Reduction in Development Time

Initiative: Detect clearance and interference problems early in the design phase
Result: Creo mechanism module has helped us check assembly clearance and interference early in the design phase saving product validation time by 30%

 

Research and Development 

Initiative: Simulate real-world forces in Circuit Breaker to analyze its behavior in working conditions
Result: Mechanism Dynamics lets us simulate working condition with effective utlization of springs, forces, cams, force motors etc. to analyze product behavior in virtual environment

 

Easy to Communicate 

Initiative: Share product behavior with cross-functional teams for clear communication of product performance
Result: Visualization has made the decision making much faster. Creo mechanism motion animations and performance graphs help us share critical communication with other teams
