Identifying and quantifying inefficiencies within industrial parametric CAD models
conference contribution
posted on 2018-11-22, 11:20 authored by Andrew Lindsay, Abby PatersonAbby Paterson, Ian GrahamIan GrahamParametric CAD software is the primary development tool for the design
engineer during the product development process. However, industrial parametric
CAD models are often constructed in a manner that leads to inefficiencies during
subsequent product development activities. Despite the availability of Model Quality Tools (MQTs) these ‘poor’ quality models can currently only be accurately identified using time-consuming and subjective auditing from experienced users.
The project aims to develop a more robust solution, using measurable part
characteristics, to predict the efficiency level of these CAD files.
