M.B.D. Ryan Cole – DASI Solutions
What is Model based definition (M.B.D.) • What do you think it is? • What did I think it was? • Let’s go to the guru!
Here is what I found! • SolidWorks Forum Article : https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/56419 • Concerns • “What! No print! I need paper!!!!” • “The drawing is a contract. With a signature!” • “The guy on the floor doesn’t know CAD” • ASME Y14.41-2003 • Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz • MIL-STD-31000A • Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz • Wait! What? The government?!?
Where does solidworks fit in? • DimExpert • Reference Dimensions • DO NOT GET RID OF “DESIGN INTENT” • External drawing file is not necessary, but you aren’t getting out of any work… • Annotations toolbar in the 3D Model. Drawings aren’t just dimensions! • Are you using BOM’s at a 3D level? • Is the shop floor using computer stations?
Great! Now what… • eDrawings • Free reader! • Short comings of eDrawings • CNC data (possible need for two programs to be open)? • Might work for internal purposes, but what about sending the data outside? • 3DPDF • Free Reader! • Can SolidWorks even create these? • CNC data? • Might work for external purposes, but what about internal usage?
Solutions that are out there • MBDWorks (Anark Software www.anark.com) • Gold level partner with SolidWorks integration. • Ease of use • True neutral file formatting and “pixel perfect” conversion. • Generates 3D PDF with all the dimensions and annotations. • Puts it into a useful border and looks suspiciously familiar to a drawing! • Data can be read in from other CAD packages as well!!! • And others…
They told me I needed quotes… “My gut tells me this is the future of engineering. See you there!” -Me
Thanks! The end.
