Software helps put concept car on road at speed
Dassault Systemes software has enabled TWR to take a concept car shown at the NEC International Motor Show and create a road car in full production in just 18 months.
The Process and Resource Planning module is used to generate a process graph of the sequence of operations and automatically derive a manufacturing concept.
Based on internationally established methods for time measurement, the Standard Time Measurement module delivers a detailed process description for both manual or semi-automated manufacturing processes.
It determines the required standard times and then documents them fully.
The Product Evaluation module enables the user to filter specific product configurations and evaluate the cost of the proposed production plan against the target costings.
With the Layout Planning module, the engineer can efficiently design and optimise manual and automated workcells and lines.
All modules are based on one PPR data model stored in a single integrated database, the PPR Hub, which allows a customer to share the same data across different locations, departments and disciplines.
By using all the Delmia Process Engineering modules, a customer is able to create a complete virtual factory and validate the process before the product design is finalised.
Thus, significant savings are made from both design-for-manufacturing and design-for-assembly.
Delmia Process Engineering has an intuitive Windows user interface and is easy and quick to learn.
It is available world-wide on Windows NT and Windows 2000.
Raimund Menges, General Manager of Delmia, Germany, noted, "The open architecture of the Delmia Process Engineering allows the customisation of the user interface across all its modules, enabling full integration with a customer's pre-existing IT environments." "The combination of the Delmia Process Engineering with other Delmia applications such as DPM for Assembly, Igrip, Envision and Quest provides the user with a complete and extremely powerful range of tools for the entire manufacturing process.
Quite literally, from the early product design phase, through the whole planning cycle and continuing on to the actual production, Delmia Process Engineering keeps the user appraised of what has to happen, when, why, where, how and at what cost," said Peter Schmitt, Vice President of Delmia Marketing.
