Assembly Evaluation
uses the design review environment of Manufacturing Planning to handle a wide
range of products from consumer goods to very large automotive or aerospace
projects as well as plants, ships and heavy machinery. You work in the
manufacturing simulation environment to define and simulate assembly and
disassembly procedures, which enables you to validate product assembly and
maintenance at the design stage.
Assembly Evaluation
provides the following capabilities:
- Interactive assembly path creation and editing
- Product buildup, operation by operation, in resources context
- Identification of operations by selecting manufacturing assemblies
in 3D
- Definition of probe points for analysis during simulation
- Definition of assembly simulation scenarios
- Interference detection and checks during simulation
- Choreographed simulations
- Management of assembly sequences with Gantt editor
- Creation of
excitation referencing operations in manufacturing
simulation scenarios
- Generation of results of a manufacturing scenario in a simulation
context
- Generation of animations of assembly simulations
- Swept volume analysis during simulation replay
- Automatic generation of an exploded assembly state
Both the designer and the planner can use
Assembly Evaluation
to accomplish a number of workflows such as assembly feasibility studies,
process validation, and planning authoring and validation.
