Ok SME's, here's your chance to sound off:
why you think your CAD tool (Creo, NX, Solidworks, Autodesk, BobCAD, etc.) is designed for best implementing a Model Based Design (MBD).
Please consider the following:
- Ease of 3D modeling to simulate complex manufacturing methods (Threading, bends, etc.)
- Reuse of model downstream in:
o CAM software
o Inspection software
* QIF compatibility
o FEA, Tolerance stack, packaging, etc.
- Bi-Directional associativity (Parametric) from drawing to model and vice versa
o AKA in Creo using "Shown Dimensions"
- Modeling to mean for manufacturing "vs" unilateral tolerancing for design intent
o AKA in Creo using Dimension Boundaries
Please feel free to list any opinion you may have one way or the other, things to watch out for, lessons learned from your experience, or anything else on your mind concerning MBD/MBE and the CAD tools.
Thanks in advance for your time and I'll summarize (anonymously) the responses.
