B&W EFX - Concept
et o ca op- own es gn o ramewor ssem es
.Create a conceptual design by creating a curve skeleton
2. Basic Design
. e a e es gnAssemble connector elements, screw connections, create
detail drawings and BOMs
Advantage: Easier, faster, easier to modify

B&W EFX - Functions for Drawings and BOM
raw ng reat on EFX copies available template drawings from library
Function for profile auto-dimensioning (overall dimensions, holes,
beam end copes)
BOM Creation
EFX creates customizable BOM parameters on assembled components,
so customer can use his regular BOM-tables to list EFX and non EFX
components
Function for creating stock length tables (list overall length of different
sections in assembly)

B&W EFX - Target Markets / Competition I
ma er mac ne es gn Complete welded frames or with T-slotted aluminium beams less than 20% of complete design is framework design
usually not more than 1000 parts
Competition: Inventor, SolidWorks, SolidEdge
Pro/E + EFX : Best solution for framework design, screw functionality
Large machines / production plants
25 - 75 % of design work is framework design Includes machine design tasks, framework design tasks, piping etc...
-> weak in structural design, large assembly performance
Structural steel software like X-Steel, Pro/Steel, AdvanceSteel
-> unable to do machine desi n i inPro/E + EFX: Best solution which can do all design tasks in good performance

B&W EFX - Target Markets / Competition II
ant es gn w t pressure vesse s, o ers, p p ng Huge assemblies > 5000 parts 20 - 50% of complete design is framework design
Includes solid modelling design tasks, framework design tasks, piping etc...
Competition: Inventor, SolidWorks, SolidEdge
-> weak in structural design, piping, large assembly performanceP ant es gn so tware PDS, PDMS
-> expensive, problems in modeling components inside vessel
Pro/E + EFX: Solution which can do all design tasks in good performance
Architectural structural steel, facades, roofs Huge assemblies > 5000 parts
Competition: Autocad with special structural steel or facade design packages
Structural steel software like X-Steel, Pro/Steel, AdvanceSteel

automated drawing creation etc.)
Pro/E + EFX: usually weaker than special packages, but becomes stronger for
