Logical Data Model Ribbon Diagram The Product Realization Digital Thread requires more than simply connecting and managing files within an Enterprise. Enterprises are complex and need disparate systems to handle data within different stages of a Product Lifecycle. Digging deeper, Jennifer Herron walks through the Logical Data Model Ribbon Diagram and how the 3D Data […]
What is MBD and GD&T? Is it PMI?
If you are looking at Model-Based Definition (MBD), you must also consider Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and how your organization will incorporate it. What is GD&T? It is a set of symbology representing the mathematical definition that identifies the allowable variations of the actual part. Quality engineers and inspectors use this language to compare the engineering requirements against the actual fabricated parts’ measurements and determine if they are in or out of specification. I have not taught an […]
