Manage assembly design and concurrent engineering

• Define the top-down design assembly structure – Capture design intent using skeleton models

• Establish and enforce assembly design best practices – Publish geometry to distribute and share reference geometry

• Facilitate and manage the concurrent design process – Collaborate and implement top-down driven design changes

• Graphically visualize dependencies and relations – Visualized references and change propagation

CONCURRENT ENGINEERING AND TOP-DOWN DESIGN

8

Design- and configure-to-order component design

• Define functional interchange groups– Support configure- and build-to-order initiatives

• Create simple programs to automate customization – Create new product iterations based on input parameters

• Substitute components based on calculations or user input– Define input logic to automatically switch out components

or subassemblies

DEFINE VARIANT AND CONFIGURABLE PRODUCTS

9

Automate the creation of assembly process planning documentation

• Easily define the sequence of events for assembly – Capture step-by-step drawings and views

• Completely document the process– Associative manufacturing BOMs for each assembly step

• Color-code models to differentiate assembled components– Improve clarity and understanding of

ASSEMBLY PROCESS PLANNING

Creo AAX takes the complexity out of designing, managing and sharing large assemblies

Key Benefits:

• Enable more efficient concurrent engineering by sharing geometry features, configuration rules and other CAD data among design team members

• Improve assembly performance with an enhanced top-down design process that allows faster, easier design

• Use skeleton models capture design intent and drive the creation of assembly designs

• Simplify assembly customization by managing and sharing critical engineering data for the efficient creation of design variants

• Develop assembly drawing and process plans more easily, speeding creation of detailed fabrication instructions and service manuals.

SOLUTION SUMMARY

11
