COLLABORATION & INTEROPERABILITY




                www.action-engineering.com   12
DESIGNERS
    WHAT DO YOU DO?

• MAKE 3D models the deliverable

• FOLLOW the CAD part and assembly modeling standard

• USE Standard Part Libraries

• MAINTAIN Your Models




                           www.action-engineering.com   13
MAKE
   CAD THE DELIVERABLES

• Ignore that the drawing is the final product
• Forces you to do the detailed design (GD&T) in the model, not
  after your done with it
• Part & Assembly Nomenclature must match the drawing tree
• Create Full Featured Models
   – Follow the standard
   – Fillets, Chamfers
   – Nominal vs. Min/Max Dimensioning
   – Standard Hole Sizing




                            www.action-engineering.com            14
MAKE
   GOOD ASSEMBLIES

• Fully Define It
   – Assembly hierarchy must follow the drawing tree
   – Mate each component in all 6 Dimensions
• Create Low Fidelity Model
• Create High Fidelity Model
• Create Stowed & Deployed Configurations
• Apply to every assembly




                             www.action-engineering.com   15
FOLLOW
    THE CAD STANDARD

• Must have a CAD Modeling
  Standard
   – Part and assembly modeling
     standard
• Just make one
   – Change it as you need to
• Write a process plan to change
  the standard




                            www.action-engineering.com   16
USE
       THE STANDARD LIBRARIES

• Use them
• Have a written process plan to update and maintain




                          www.action-engineering.com   17
MAINTAIN
   YOUR MODELS

• Have a written process plan
• Make change to the model only
   – Drawing flows from CAD only
   – No faking on the drawing
• Manage changes as you go
   – Don’t let the redlines build up




                                www.action-engineering.com   18
DESIGNERS
       WHAT SUPPORT DO YOU NEED?


• Setup Roles/Responsibilites
   – Match Drawing Tree
• Master Modelers
   – Responsible engineers assigned to each assembly
   – Top/Master Modeler controls integration and updates to top
     assembly
• CAD Checkers
   – Directly check the models
