EXPERIENCE THE 3D CLOUD

3DEXPERIENCE platform is a cloud-based environment that connects your product development process from design through manufacturing and delivery. It unites entire organization from design and manufacturing to service and marketing under one collaborative platform.

Collaborative Business Innovator

 It is a Role allows you to create dashboards too quickly and share essential product development data such as key performance indicators, files etc. with executives and customers securely .It is the ONE PLACE for all of your product development needs. This Collaborative Business Innovator Contains Applications

 

 

 

With the above mentioned apps you can easily create communities to share and collaborate on ideas, topics of interest and projects. Share information with stakeholders in real time just as you would on any social platform. Post updates and requests for feedback, engage with ideas, and view and comment on designs regardless of your location. 

Applications available in CBI role:

3DDashboard

The dashboard is the layout of the web page. It is a holistic view on any topic or activity, gathering content from various sources. It contains of tabs, each tab containing widgets. Even it can be customized and it can be shared with other users.

Netvibes Reader

Feed Reader is an App compatible with the Pin to 3DDashboard feature.

Feed Reader enables you to read articles published by an RSS feed. It can be used in conjunction with Social Analytic, Tracked Topic and Potion. It supplies the 6WTags with a list of facets that can be displayed.

3D Drive

Think of this as Dropbox or Google Drive, but fully application oriented. It works seamlessly with SOLIDWORKS through an add-in with the desktop version of SOLIDWORKS. Even you can connect it with file explorer. You can easily share the 3D drive content with other users through links.

3D Play

3D Drive offers an intuitive navigation experience on several platforms. You can also use 3DPlay to visualize 2D content. Even you can use 3DPlay with standard as well as with touch devices, and with some mobile devices.

3D Swym

3DSwym application is at the heart of the 3D Experience platform and is the gateway to collaboration within your business. You can post ideas and concepts and interact with them as things progress from concept to reality. Even you can posts questions to get opinions from the people who belong to your communities.

INSERTING FORMULAS IN TABLE CELLS WITH DRAFTSIGHT

With DraftSight 2019 users now have the ability to add formulas to their tables, just like one can add in a spreadsheet program. This feature is available in DraftSight 2019 Professional, Premium, Enterprise and Enterprise Plus.

Use the formulas in the cells with Arithmetic Operators and Sum, Average and Count.

• Sum - Used to calculate the sum of the values from the defined cells.
• Average - Used to calculate the average of the values from the defined cells.
• Count - Used to Count the number of defined cells.

A formula should always start with the equal sign (=).

To start with, you need to insert a Table in to your drawing. To do so, click on the Annotate Tab and select Table from the menu.

Once you have inserted your table, you can populate it to suit your needs. In the example below, I’ve created a small table showing Door Types, Quantity, Price and Cost.

The Cost column for door is specified in column C4 and the value for each row in it is calculated by multiplying B3 and C3 and other rows are filled by copying the formula.

User can specify cells and ranges of cells within a formula by selecting them or by referring to them using column and row labels.

If you click in a Cell, you’ll notice a new Property Table Menu for the cell appears. You can use this menu to Insert, Remove and Size Columns and Rows.

You can also Merge and Format Cells and, if you click on the Formula button, you will see a list of supported Formulas within DraftSight 2019 Professional, Premium, Enterprise and Enterprise Plus.

I have used a simple formula in creating the table as example Likewise many

Formulas can be used as we use in a spreadsheet in the DraftSight table.

Improving the stability of the liquid container

 In our daily life we use different products like liquid sugar, molasses, milk, wine, juices, water, diesel, cooking oil, petrol & LPG. The raw materials are extracted at one place and it is refined at another place and transported to different places by different means of transportation as shown below.

 

Fig: 1

When the load is distributed to the centre of the vehicle, at inertia of rest or inertia of motion the vehicle will be in stable condition. If the same load is at one end and sudden brake is applied, due to which there will be a miss balance in the vehicle as shown below.

 

Fig: 2 [With Out Baffles]

 Liquid does not have any shape, it takes the shape of the container, in the case of high viscous fluid there will not be much effect on the walls of the container as the liquid does not move in the container due to high viscous force, but a less viscous liquid has the tendency to move in the container. When there are peak turns or sudden breaking or acceleration, the liquid pressure is applied on the walls of the container, due to that there will be a miss balance of the vehicle.

Fig: 3 [with Baffles]

One solution is by providing the baffles as shown in above figure. There is a splashing of the liquid due to peak turns or sudden breaking or acceleration, the baffles acts as a barrier. The water splashing in the container can be virtually created using the SolidWorks Flow Simulation with free surface flow, which works with VOF (Volume of Fluids), the fraction of water and air is been defined in the cell in VOF.

Fig: 4

We are going to design a liquid container without baffles as shown in Fig: 4 and with baffles as shown in Fig: 5. The movement of the fluid is given virtually, by defining the gravitational dependency effect in the Y-direction and Z- direction on the fluid as shown in the Fig: 6, the condition we had taken here is when there is an sudden acceleration in the vehicle.

                                                                               Fig: 5

With the dependency gravitational effect on the Y-direction and Z-direction, the blue portion is water in the domain as shown in Fig:4 and Fig:5 and by defining Initial conditions, Environmental Boundary condition and defined goals as shown in the Fig:7. 

Fig: 6 

Fig: 7

  We are going to compare how the liquid is moving in the container with the baffles and without baffles and the volume fraction of water.

In below Fig: 8 and Fig: 9 we can see how the liquid pressure is high at one end due to sudden acceleration of the vehicle in the container without baffles and how the liquid pressure is distributed throughout with baffles.

 

 Fig: 8 [Without Baffle]

 

Fig: 9 [With Baffles]

From the above images it is clear that due to the presence of baffles in the container, there is an even distribution, so that the vehicle can be in stable condition even when there is sudden acceleration or braking. The entire model is virtually done without any experimental setup and these are some of the capabilities of SolidWorks Flow Simulation.
