Achieve Product Design Excellence with CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE

CATIA is one of the widely used software applications for product design across various industries. CATIA has helped organizations to conceptualize, design and conform to the ever-changing industry standards and requirements. Across industry lines, CATIA still proves to be the most preferred product design application for any organizations.

CATIA, now powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE platform delivers unmatched capabilities of integration with existing processes and tools of any organization. 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides single source of truth dashboard to the entire business line of a company. It enables real-time concurrent design and engineering giving visibility to all the stakeholders in a single window. This eventually drives high levels of business intelligence and unprecedented collaboration between various departments of the organization. This not only saves precious time, thereby helping in meeting the challenging deadlines but also provides organizations to dedicate more brain power in planning the road ahead so as to be prepared for a completely volatile future.

CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE is much more than a CAD application. It connects all other departments of the organization through a common thread. CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE also facilitates Product Data Management & Product Lifecycle Management powered by ENOVIA.

This not only helps in predictability but also empowers organizations to manage changes efficiently. Lesser number of iterations for the New Developed Products means faster launches, lesser wastage and more profitability.

CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE delivers unmatched capabilities in multiple disciplines:

 

DESIGN/STYLING: In transportation industry, the style & design of the product plays a major role in its success in the market.

CATIA and 3DEXPERIENCE platform together can take the innovation, adaptability, profitability and efficiency of an organization to a whole new level.

How companies optimize their Design, Engineering and Manufacturing Processes?

Organizations are adopting Lightweight Engineering solutions to optimize their design, engineering and manufacturing processes. R&D departments in the Automotive and Aerospace sector is increasingly considering ways to adopt Lightweight Engineering solution to develop the new product designs.

There are multiple methods to optimize the weight, shape and material selection of parts and assembly. However, Lightweight Engineering is much more than this. Lightweight Engineering is the optimization of design, engineering and manufacturing processes which helps to create and evaluate new types of concepts and techniques that will make better lighter products.

How companies optimize their Design, Engineering and Manufacturing Processes-1

 

There are multiple challenges which are faced while designing a part for Lightweight Engineering. Some of the challenges are listed below:

  • How to optimize the weight and shape of the design and further simulate and test virtually considering the entire Vehicle or Aircraft Design?
  • How to optimize fastening in complex assemblies?
  • How to achieve paperless engineering and manufacturing?
  • How to optimize the process for composites from design to engineering to manufacturing stages?
  • How to achieve a complex sheet metal part design right the first time in Aerospace and Automotive sectors?
  • How to manage weight and balance workflow to achieve the KPI?

How companies optimize their Design, Engineering and Manufacturing Processes-2

 

To address the above challenges, there are multiple processes and digital validation solutions which traditionally work in silos. However, a single solution which can carry design, engineering and manufacturing processes with the same digital thread without any data loss is desirable and preferred as well.

CATIA for Lightweight Engineering solution addresses the above challenges through:

  • Cognitive Augmented Design with respect to Additive Manufacturing with best trade-off analysis approach
  • Simulation Driven Design for Digital Continuity with SFE concept
  • Reverse Engineering Processes with methodology and approach – from scan of “as built” or FEA deformation prediction results
  • Fastener analysis and review in earlier stages for complex Assemblies
  • Fully optimized process from design to simulation to manufacturing for composites
  • First time right approach for complex sheet metal parts by considering manufacturing constraints
  • Quicker design innovations in Mold Tool Designs
  • Predicting the change management with best impact analysis approach
  • Predicting mass distribution to balance weight in the earlier stages for large assemblies
  • Increasing the quality of manufactured products with minimal tolerancing and drawing interpretation errors by 100% Product Manufacturing Information in 3D for accurate & annotated geometric definition
