3DCS Analyst SA (Multi-CAD)
| |
Predict - the assembly variation of manufactured products with virtual prototypes.
React - to specific contributors of cumulative variation for optimizing designs.
Control - costs and dimensional integrity with proactive 3D tolerance analysis. |
Product Overview
3DCS Analyst SA is the state-of-the-art dimensional tolerance analysis tool used for simulating the design and manufacturing / assembly. 3DCS predicts the amount of variation inherent in your design and identifies the sources of that variation. As a multi-CAD solution, 3DCS Analyst SA can work with virtually any CAD file type, including CATIA, Unigraphics, STEP, IGES, etc. For organizations that are required to support multiple different customers in different CAD environments, this solution provides for the fastest and most efficient method of completing variation analysis models. The ease of use and speed to which a model can be created offers organizations the ability to analyze their design earlier in the design phase to improve and optimize the design for maximum quality at a lower cost.
Business Values
Optimize Product Designs and Processes
3DCS Analyst SA allows users the ability to evaluate design and assembly concepts up front, where problems can be identified early in the product development lifecycle. Optimizing for dimensional integrity improves the robustness of your design and process by maximizing part tolerances while maintaining the dimensional requirements of your final assembly.
Reduce Cycle Time and Rework Costs
Shorten development time, accelerate time to market and reduce costs by utilizing the capabilities of 3DCS Analyst SA for digital prototyping. By maximizing part tolerances while still controlling dimensional requirements, manufacturing costs can be reduced with less rework to tools and gages, minimized scrap and reduced warranty defects. 3DCS Analyst SA reduces your bottom line and significantly improves product quality by validating that parts fit and function together before design release and throughout production.
Key Product Features & Benefits
Key Product Benefits:
- Identify Assembly Variation during the design phases rather than in production
- Reduce tooling and fixture changes resulting in dramatic COST SAVINGS (SHORTENED DVLP. CYCLE)
- Identify Key Product Characteristics based on a true Virtual Prototype
- Increase Tolerances of less critical features (COST SAVINGS)
- Increase Product Quality (CUSTOMER SATISFACTION)
- Reduce Scrap Rate (COST SAVINGS)
3DCS Key Product Features:
- Identify Contributors - Localize tolerances and assembly processes responsible for variation
- Animate Build Sequences - Display parts moving sequentially to their final assembled position
- Animate Variation On-Screen - Users can visualize clearances & interferences, sweep parts and assemblies within their statistical extremes
- Create Models Without Geometry - Perform tolerance analysis with or without CAD geometry, allowing the analyst to start developing the VA study earlier in the design process in order to make the largest impact on product quality
- Specify Distribution Types - Select from a comprehensive set of statistical distributions with 3DCS Analyst to represent different manufacturing processes
- Perform What-If Analysis - Learn the impact on the final assemblies before costly design changes need to be made
- Evaluate Geometric Factors - Identify critical dimensions of parts and assemblies that significantly affect variation due to level arm effects and enhance the robustness of their design.
- Accurate assembly modeling - Vast array of “Move” routines to simulate any assembly process.
- Animate variation On-Screen - Visualize clearances & interferences, sweep parts and assemblies within their statistical boundaries.
- Specify Distribution Types - Select from a comprehensive set of statistical distribution types to represent differing manufacturing processes.
- Comprehensive tolerance analysis - with Monte Carlo Simulation, High-Low-Mean (Sensitivity Analysis) and GeoFactor™ Analysis.
- Easy to use - Quickly build analysis models with an easy-to-use and easy-to-learn graphical user interface, all within a single CATIA V5 window.
- Reuse Models - Capture commonly used processes and build a library of easily assessable models.
