Introduction:
          According to Global Industrial Valve Market analysis, there was a huge potential growth for Indian Manufacturers set to reach Three Billion Dollars by 2023.
          Indian Market is a place where investors likely hit favourite shots. Design and Manufacture play a major part of any organization to attain best in quality and first in the Market. For error free Manufacturing, Design is the most significant thing. An Organization who has an individual Department of Design, they see tremendous growth compared to others.
          In that order today we are going to have a look how SOLIDWORKS and its Multi Product helps VALVE MANUFACTURERES to reach Market earlier with best Quality.

Objective:

          This presentation will address how VALVE MANUFACTURERS can bring their own ideas into live, methodology to improve product quality, effective strategies for product reliability and powerful streamline paths to become leaders in this competitive Global Market. Let’s go for it.

3D CAD Design - SOLIDWORKS

          Using of SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD, a designer can understand project concept and perform quick variations to come up with effective design. Since it is a parametric software, designer response very fast for any design changes.
          Design variants can present within a single environment so to avoid repeat designs and reduce time delay.

          Operating condition of Valve can view in a design stage itself so that any interference, collision can easily identify and avoid prototype, production cost and manufacturing error.

          Production drawing can generate based on Draft angle, surface area, corner edges of Valves. In case of set of Valve assembly is deigned, Bill of Materials [BOM] can generate automatically within a matter of seconds.

Manage whole set of DATA at finger tip

          In valve design industry, there always be a revise documents have for a schedule basis. To maintain, order, update, organize within a single environment SOLIDWORKS PDM will be a best tool.

Validation

SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation will assess the fluid flow for varied engineering applications and may facilitate thermal analysis for finding varied heat transfer issues. Design and analysis of various types of turbo-machinery to simulate specified air/volume flow rate, determine the power required to achieve performance and overall pump efficiency.

Visualization

     SOLIDWORKS Visualize is the camera of SOLIDWORKS that enables create professional,high quality, photo-realistic images, animations, and interactive 3D content quickly and easily.
     With SOLIDWORKS Visualize you'll be able to produce sales and promoting content at design stage and be able to begin promoting before your product is launched.

Inspection Ballooning

     SOLIDWORKS Inspection package is a First Article Inspections (FAI) and in-process quality inspection software that automates and streamlines the creation of ballooned review drawings and review reports like AS9102, PPAP, etc..
     Enhanced with OCR performance and capabilities extended to part, assembly, drawing files and third-party files like PDF, TIFF, SOLIDWORKS Inspection helps you streamline your shop floor inspection and Quality Assurance processes and create inspection reports and ballooned drawings in minutes.

Secure Data with Product Data Management

     Centralizing the storage of all engineering data and all related files can be achieved using SOLIDWORKS PDM. It provides a robust environment for collaboration, design reuse, change management and design data distribution.
     SOLIDWORKS Manage is an advanced, record-based data management system for process management, item management, Engineering change management, BOM management, serial number generation etc.

Technical Communication

     Creation of assembly instructions, product manuals, manufacturing information, and other downstream deliverable quickly and easily by both engineers and non-engineers can by done using SOLIDWORKS Technical Communications applications.
     Detailed technical illustrations, animations, product communication, and interactive 3D experiences can be easily re-purposed with 2D and 3D content using SOLIDWORKS Composer.

     Model-based 3D (PMI) for integrated drawing-less manufacturing with SOLIDWORKS MBD.
