EXCEL BASED AUTOMATION OF SHEETMETAL PANELS

 

 In SOLIDWORKS, Design Automation is one of the easiest ways to quickly make design changes by specifying parameters in an embedded Microsoft Excel worksheet.

Most companies have a common goal of reducing design costs, to design less and standardize the product range and to design faster.

This stands out as an effective means of dramatically cutting costs and increasing productivity thus saving time.

By incorporating proper design rules, Design table allows you to modify the dimensions and build multiple configurations of parts in the least possible time.

Engineers will spend less time on repetitive tasks and time-consuming variations on the same design, and more time on innovation.

Using Excel based automation, we can complete days of custom engineering design in just minutes.

How to Overcome your collaboration barriers with 3DEXPERIENCE cloud solutions?

Effective benefits of Cloud Collaboration - THE 3DEXPERIENCE PLATFORM

3DEXPERIENCE is a cloud-based platform, easily accessed with a browser which has curated solutions for persons from each department in an organization ranging from design, simulation, and manufacturing to governance/Management.

Before knowing what’s new in recent 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, let’s quickly run through a few capabilities in this powerful cloud collaboration environment - 3DEXPERIENCE. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform has cloud design and collaboration capabilities in close integration with SOLIDWORKS to carry out Product Data Management (PDM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) activities.

Connect your SOLIDWORKS or any CAD data with the 3DEXPERIENCE cloud platform to securely save and manage them from anywhere, anytime with any device. Below listed are a few of the general benefits of cloud-based collaboration for SOLIDWORKS.

· Create several tailored dashboards to serve your needs in a single place.

· Save and manage access, revisions, and product lifecycle of your Designs or Non-CAD data on the cloud.

· Real-time collaboration of ideas, designs, tasks, and people with other teams like simulation and manufacturing in a unified environment with the cloud as a single source of truth to eliminate duplicates.

· Conduct design reviews from anywhere using 3D markups, issue management, and change management with a whole track of what and when anything has happened during the product lifecycle.

· Compare your designs with previous revisions and make custom approval routes within the organization.

·  Plan your project with work-breakdown tasks, milestones, and dependencies with Gantt chart UI.

·  Browser-based design tools for parametric and sub-divisional modeling (Digital Clay modeling).

·  Generate and manage part numbers, product structures, and BOMs digitally.

NESTING OF NATIVE OR IMPORTED CAD MODELS IN SOLIDWORKS

LOGOPRESS

LOGOPRESS is a die design software, which automates a variety of processes, including Blanking, Strip layout, Nesting, Tool design, and drawings in addition to unbending and flattening even "Complex" parts. This included LOGOPRESS die simulation even allowing the die to simulate the tool positioning and interference checked during the operation in the press.
With a Gold-certified SOLIDWORKS Partner Product, LOGOPRESS work as an Add-in inside SOLIDWORKS so you can use the power of 3D modeling capabilities to speed up the design process.

BLANK FLATTEN

LOGOPRESS BLANK Flatten option allows us to quickly and easily predict the theoretical blank of 3D-formed parts. The Finite Element Analysis includes minimizes the development time in the press.
Therefore, we can Flatten our models in the following FEA conditions including Blank Prediction, Meshing, Thickness Variation, Stress & Strain Results, Bounding Box Info and Contour points mapping. This mesh is fully automatic but its size can also be adjusted if the user wishes to do so. There is no need to be a mechanical engineer with finite element analysis skills to handle the LOGOPRESS BLANK module because it is very user-friendly.
 LOGOPRESS BLANK can also be used to flatten various applications, such as Aerospace, Leather (Shoes) Composites, cloth, plastics, adhesives, leather, inflatable objects, packaging & Shipbuilding. Note: Native SOLIDWORKS models as well as imported models can be used.

Key functions:

• Manage native and/or imported data
• Manage solids and surfaces
• Material thickness management
• Customizable material database
• Choice of the "stamping starting area"
• Allow defining pinched/locked areas
• Thinning and thickening information
• Stress and strain information

LOGOPRESS NEST

In the manufacturing industry, nesting refers to the process of laying out cutting patterns to minimize raw material waste. It automates the calculation of the ideal distribution of the cutting patterns to avoid waste. The process involves the analysis of the parts to be produced at a particular time. This has the advantage of minimizing tool movement for Sheetmetal products and maximizing how many pieces can be fabricated in one session.

LOGOPRESS Nest is completely integrated with SOLIDWORKS which is quick, and simple to use. Either a multibody component file that was made in SOLIDWORKS or that was imported from another CAD system or an individual SOLIDWORKS Part or Assembly file can be easily Nested after setting some logical parameters that allow extreme flexibility it will quickly nest the parts per the options that you set.

Key functions:

• Multiple nesting options and strategies included
• Supports either multibody parts or parts within an assembly
• Set sheet size to nest on or set only width
• Angular control of parts
• Option to allow parts to flip upside down
• Flexibility in setting clearances between parts
• Ability to set quantities for each individual part
• Automatic report generation
