MBD & Design Documentation Survey – Share Your Pain and Triumphs
Are you and your organization going through the pain of implementing Model-Based Definition (MBD) in a Model-Based Enterprise (MBE)? Have you already been-there-done-that? The older I become, the more I realize that life is about the process rather than the product. In learning, it means you have to drudge through a bit of pain before […]
Using PMI & Color-Coding for Model-Based Inspection by Henk Jörg & Patrick Kerkhof
The Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) journey at TFH technical services started at NIST’s Model-Based Enterprise Summit in 2012. They’ve since implemented Model-Based Definition (MBD) for manufacturing of conveying systems for chicken slaughtery. Full production with zero drawings. TFH works together with Software Factory and B&W Software in Europe to investigate the latest practical methods for re-using […]
Transfer, Edit, and View PMI Annotated Models by Robb McCord
Over the last year, Northrop Grumman Mission Systems adopted changes to accommodate Model-Based Definition (MBD) designs in order to leverage the 3D models in manufacturing. The MBD data sets sent to suppliers do not include drawings. Most of the organizational changes involve conveying engineering documentation using file types that convey 3D annotations, or Product and […]
Analysis and Simulation Features in MBD by Dr. Andreas Vlahinos
Structural, stress, and tolerance analysis simulations for products are an essential piece of producing a quality design. Connecting these analyses with the native CAD model and semantic product and manufacturing information (PMI), that is, digitally associated dimensions and tolerances, is important for automating these essential analyses. Dr. Andreas Vlahinos of Advanced Engineering Solutions is an […]
