PARAMETRIC MODELING 1. INTRODUCTION TO PARAMETRIC MODELING

PARAMETRIC MODELING 1. INTRODUCTION TO PARAMETRIC MODELING : Origin Calculation: D mini, Valve XXX Manual Input to renew at each spec modification Geometry New Specs : T°, P, C Presentation - Time consuming - Lack of flexibility - Unpleasant routine job for designers How to accelerate the process?

PARAMETRIC MODELING 1. INTRODUCTION TO PARAMETRIC MODELING : Principles - Transform the specs, calculation, expert rules into parameters and relation included in 3 D modeler - Construction of a parameter driven geometry -The Geometry is directly linked to functionnal parameters, and automatically updated Specs : T°, P, C Calculation: D mini, Valve XXX Geometry - Time saving - Less repetitive work

PARAMETRIC MODELING 1. INTRODUCTION TO PARAMETRIC MODELING : Example External diameter of shaft D Non parametric: 44 sec - 4 dimensions to modify - Repetitive operations Bearing Length: L L=1. 5 D Parametric: 13 sec - 1 parameter to modify

PARAMETRIC MODELING 2. BASIC FUNCTIONS

PARAMETRIC MODELING 2. BASIC FUNCTIONS : Parameters and formula Available in any workshop Parameters: - Has a name, dimension, and value - Can be anything: mm, T°, MPa, s, - Can drive or be driven - Can be inputted or picked up from a list - Can be limited to a range

PARAMETRIC MODELING 2. BASIC FUNCTIONS : Parameters and formula - Formulas - Will allow to create a mathematical link between one or several input parameters, and a output one - Only allow to create continuous links - Insert Knowledge, expert rules in an assembly

PARAMETRIC MODELING 2. BASIC FUNCTIONS : Parameters and formula Example of the shaft and bearing: We want to drive it from “functional parameters” such as torque, safety coefficient

PARAMETRIC MODELING 2. BASIC FUNCTIONS : Parameters and formula

PARAMETRIC MODELING 3. ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

PARAMETRIC MODELING 3. ADVANCED FUNCTIONS: knowledgware Knowledge Advisor: Most of knowledge tools, Product Engineering Optimizer: Optimisation

PARAMETRIC MODELING 3. ADVANCED FUNCTIONS: Knowledge Advisor Rules: - Allow to create non continuous actions - Synchronus (relaunched each time an entry parameter is modified) - Several outputs

PARAMETRIC MODELING 3. ADVANCED FUNCTIONS: Knowledge Advisor Reaction and actions: - Like a rule but Asynchronuous (Launch action when a specified parameter is modified) - Possibility to couple short script etc

PARAMETRIC MODELING 3. ADVANCED FUNCTIONS : Knowledge Advisor Check: - similar to the rule, but just giving an information if D>30 mm

PARAMETRIC MODELING 3. ADVANCED FUNCTIONS: Product Engineering Optimizer Optimizations: - Possibility to include an optimization inside the model - You can then couple it to a reaction so that it is launched any time a specific value is changed

PARAMETRIC MODELING 4. PARAMETRIC AND SMARTEAM

PARAMETRIC MODELING 4. PARAMETRIC AND SMARTEAM: Contextual links - No problem when creating parameters, formulas, copying sketches, inside a Part. - When creating formulas, copying parameters, sketches between parts, has to be outside the context of an assembly. - Each part has to be open in a different window, and not being open in an assembly in another window Preliminary A. 00 A. 01 - No Replace to latest Parameter copied with link B. 00

PARAMETRIC MODELING 4. PARAMETRIC AND SMARTEAM: Contextual links - To buil a parametric assembly, always use a skeleton - Put the pilot parameters inside the skeleton - Use it as knowledge container to distribute the parameters to different parts
