Business impact of data Management in Power & Process Industry

Product datamanagement (PDM) has to serve as a central knowledge repository for process and product history, and promotes integration & data exchange among all business users who interact with products — including project managers, engineers, sales people, buyers, and quality assurance teams. But its not happening in real-time environment.

Challenges faced in Power & process Industry:

A)Spending countless hours for the design approvals Engineering Change Orders (ECO)–more time to prepare and convey Engineering change notice (ECN) and getting approvals.

B)Has to maintain a whole Revision history of a design evolution,Errors of manual approaches to be captured and also Duplicate file creation has to stop.

C)Unable to collaborate with multiple location organizations

D)Difficult to deliver the right file, at right time to the right person

E) Difficult to Create, maintain, manipulate and store the Bill of Materials (BOM) data to support downstream operations.

Solutions:

A) By Automatic electronic workflow system in SolidWorks PDM,significantly reduce the time required for the design approvals of Engineering change orders (ECO).

B) SolidWorks PDM Track changes, maintain a whole revision history of a design’s evolution, and errors of manual approaches can be avoided and also helps to avoid creation of duplicate files .

C) SolidWorks PDM allows replicating the data from one location to another location without much effort.This global connectivity helps in reducing the time to market of product.

D) But with SolidWorks PDM, usingworkflow and transition action- data can assigned automatically to a right person at right time with notification

E) SolidWorks PDM software offers many tools which enables to handle BOM data more efficiently and also to export this data for the use in downstream applications.

Benefits:

• Achieve Intelligent Process automation
• Ability to Track Changes
• Helps in Process integration
• Smart BOM Management
• Error free Change management
• Enterprise Scalability for multiple Location access.

• Errors in design resulting in engineering rework and delays
• A bottleneck appears when overlooking a entire product which was developed under various CAD Software due to various constrains.
• Unexpected Failure faced at higher pressure operation.
• The life of the product not able to predict, due to that maintenance overtime and process productivity is critical.

SOLIDWORKS SOLUTIONS FOR POWER AND PROCESS

Design Challenges Faced in Power and Process Industry

1. Optimizing work flow for specialized domains such as piping, tubing and welding.
2. Errors in design resulting in engineering rework and delays
3. A bottleneck appears when overlooking a entire product which was developed under various CAD Software due to various constrains
4. Unexpected Failure faced at higher pressure operation
5. The life of the product not able to predict, due to that maintenance overtime and process productivity is critical

Addressing these Challenge through SOLIDWORKS Solutions.

1. In SolidWorks we don’t need to spend our time on designing standard parts and components, where all the standard components are available in design library itself which can be obtained by simple drag and drop. For further validation of the product those standard can be directly fetched in SolidWorks Simulation.

 

Fig1: Design Library

2. SOLIDWORKS helps to eliminate the rework in design process by using design table automation, DriveworksXpress and customized integrated automation solutions.
3. Now with SOLIDWORKS you can import and export different types of cad files and neutral file formats.

Fig2:supported File Formats

4. Failure can be avoided by predicting different pressure operation at various temperatures for the given Product in the development Stage itself.

Fig3:Displacement analysis

5. The life and damage of the product would be predicted depending upon its working cycle over a period of time. Through the process, we can pre-schedule maintenance so that process productivity will be efficient.

Benefits of SOLIDWORKS using Power &Process industry

• Eliminate reworks and save your time.
• Reduce development cost & overall cast of the design.
• Easily automated the layout design in full plant
• The repeated documentation can be reduced.
• Validation of designs for efficiency and performance.

Customer Voice:

“We spent so much time trying to communicate design intent in 2D drawings—time that is completely eliminated when you present a realistic 3D rendering of a concept using SOLIDWORKS”

- Gary Hager 

Senior Project Manager/Engineer

Integration of SOLIDWORKS Revision Table with SOLIDWORKS PDM

SOLIDWORKS PDM 2018 can now read and write values from or to a SOLIDWORKS revision table. You can configure SOLIDWORKS PDM variables to automatically add information such as revision date, description, and approver to a new row in the table or to update the last row.

Step 1: Configure Revision Table Integration

1. In the administration tool, expand SOLIDWORKS and open the Revision Table node.

2. Enable the check box “Enable Revision Table”

1. Set the number of visible rows in the revision table.
2. Enter the place holder text you wish to be shown when you manually add a new revision table row in SOLIDWORKS.

Step 2: Mapping variables to the Revision Table

Each revision table column that you wish to update via PDM must be mapped to data card variable.

To configure the variable mapping:

1. In the administration tool,expand the variable node.
2. Select the variable to update.
3. Click “New Attribute”
4. Add a new block named “SWRevTable”
5. The “Attribute Name” field will switch to a drop list,listing the five default revision table columns.Select the appropriate attribute that should be mapped to the variable.
6. Type “slddrw” in the extension field.

When you change the mapped variable values in the file's data card, the values in the latest row of the table are updated and vice versa.

Step 3: Automatically update revision table row

The revision table row can be updated automatically by two methods:

1. Set Variable transition actions.
2. Set Revision command.

Step 3.1: Configure the workflow to automatically update revision table row

The revision table in a drawing can be updated via workflow transition actions that update variables mapped to the “SWRevTable” block.

1.In the administration tool,expand the workflow node and open the appropriate workflow.

2.Select the transition that is used to set a revision on the drawing.

3.Add a “Set variable” transition action that updates the variable linked to the SWRevTable mapping for the Revision column in the revision table.

Add “Set Variable” actions for each revision table column that you wish to update at the same time the revision is set.

Step 3.2:Configure Set Revision command to automatically update revision table row

To update the revision table via the manual “Set Revision” command

1. In the administration tool,expand SOLIDWORKS and open the “Revision Table” node.
2. Select the “Set Revision Command Settings tab”.
3. Enable the check box “Update Revision Table in SOLIDWORKS Drawing through “Set Revision” command

To update the “Revision” column in the revision table,enable the check box

The revision column will use the revision value that the Set Revision command sets on the file.

The “Variable Name” drop list will display all variables that have a “SWRevTable” mapping.Select the variable that contains the revision value on the drawing Data card.

To update the other column(Description, Date, Approver) enable the checkbox and In “Column Value”,enter a static text or select from the options in the drop list what value the revision table column should be updated with.

Note: The command will only add a new revision row with the values when you use the “Update Variable” option in the Set Revision command.
