How to create Effective Technical Documentation and Improve ROI using SOLIDWORKS COMPOSER

Objective

Clearly explain and present your product or process using 2D and 3D graphical content that you can quickly create with SOLIDWORKS Composer software.

Traditional Challenges in Consumer Product Industry

• Content creators are often working with different, cobbled together tools, including 2D CAD drawings, digital photography, and file translators.
• Bottleneck to business growth and competitiveness
• Too many manual steps to get to a finished document, and far too much back-and-forth activity.
• Spend too much of time in Manual changes in product as well as technical communication documents
• The whole process is therefore inefficient, slow, and disruptive to the Engineering Department and to the organization as a whole.

Intelligent Solutions for common pitfalls

1.Concurrent technical documentation

• Automate your technical communication process, and make it concurrent with the design process

2.Design, Document, Deliver Easily

• You can dramatically improve the quality, quantity, effectiveness, and customer appeal of your technical communication materials.
• Automatically generating current Bills of Materials (BOMs) with the push of a button, for inclusion in proposals or assembly instructions.

3.Business benefits abound

• Faster time to market. You can create documentation in parallel with product design and development, so products get to market faster.

4.Speed product success

• Engineers can spend more time designing and more easily create technical documents to communicate their work.
• Content creators can spend more time creating great content and less time chasing and updating data.

5.Automating manufacturing and assembly instructions

Summary

• As manufacturing organizations strive to identify ways to,

• save time
• cut costs and
• improve their competitiveness in global markets

• Your company can realize shorter times-to-market, improved operational efficiencies, and good quality documentation.

• More cost savings and also realize significant ROI within the first year.

• Manufacturers can improve profit margins, achieve faster times-to-market, and increase sales related to better customer education

 

SOLIDWORKS Solutions for Quality /Inspection

DIMXPERT

• Detail designs without errors, automatically dimension “manufacturing” features in 3D.
• Check the dimensional completeness of your design
• Graphically display dimensional status
• Display dimensions created in 3D automatically on the drawing
• Apply +/- or geometric dimension and tolerances
• Ease the Process of Creating manufacturing Dimensions

TOLANALYST

• TolAnalyst uses the input from Dimxpert.
• Powerful tolerance analysis tool that automatically checks the effects of tolerances on parts and assemblies to ensure consistent fit of components and to verify tolerancing schemes before the product goes into production.
• The tolerance analysis can be rerun instantly if a dimensioning or tolerancing change is made, enabling you to get to an optimized tolerancing scheme more quickly.

SIGMUNDWORKS

• Five analysis types including; Worst Case, RSS (Root Sum Square), Modified RSS, Process Centering RSS, and Monte Carlo Simulations are possible
• Wide range of statistical distributions to emulate real-world
• Tolerance Optimizer (patented)
• Single-source documentation for tolerance stacks
• Automatic statistical, sensitivity, SPC, cost-savings, and impact report generation

INSPECTION

• First Article Inspection (FAI) and in-process inspection software that streamlines and automates the creation of ballooned inspection drawings and inspection reports (AS9102, PPAP, etc.).
• Enables users to leverage their legacy data regardless of whether they have SOLIDWORKS files, PDFs, or TIFFs.
• Each characteristic value can be entered manually, by using a digital caliper, or by importing coordinate measuring machine (CMM) results.
