Manufacturing Solutions:
Integrated Design Simulation
In today’s competitive environment,companies involved in the design and
development of products face increasing pressure to produce better products in less time.
To meet this challenge, companies are introducing more computer-aided simulation into the design process so
designers can gain early insight into the performance of the design. This gives the designer ore freedom to explore new ideas or alternatives with greater confidence that the design will perform as expected and require fewer changes during prototype testing and real-world use.
But to make simulation an integrated part of the design process, the simulation tools need to be fast, easy to use, and fit
seamlessly in the design engineer’s process. To achieve this, PT has developed a suite of completely integrating
simulation tools within the computer-aided design (CAD) software used every day by
the design engineer. Pro/MECHANICA works seamlessly within the Pro/ENGINEER environment. Using the
same user interface, workflow, and productivity tools that the design engineer is already familiar with.
Pro/MECHANICA operates directly on the Pro/ENGINEER geometry and database, so
there are o geometry translation or interface problems and the full power of the
proven Parametric Modeling Capability of Pro/ENGINEER can be exploited.
The automated optimization capabilities of Pro/MECHANICA lets designers quickly
evaluate alternatives and ten focus on better designs without the need for
expansive and time-consuming prototypes.
Pro/MECHANICA also works with other CAD programs from other vendors like
Unigraphics, Solidworks, and CATIA, through PTC’s data sharing Associative
Topology Bus (ATB).
Integrated CAD/CAM Tools for the Successful Machinist
To create the complex shapes typical of
today's products, machinists require a robust and integrated set of
computer-aided design (CAD) and manufacturing (CAM) solutions. PTC's
Pro/ENGINEER Manufacturing Solutions offer a complete family of applications to
handle every aspect of the machine process from mold design and advanced
numerical control (NC) to three-dimensional computer-aided
simulation and verification. Pro/ENGINEER Manufacturing Solutions work inside of
Pro/ENGINEER to give you true concurrent design through manufacture, and the
confidence in knowing our parts will be cut efficiently and accurately
Pro/ENGINEER Competitive Advantage:
A Single, Integrated Environment - with
Comprehensive Best-in-Class Applications
Pro/ENGINEER represents an unmatched set of best-in-class, integrated, art-to-part applications - with 100 percent of the functionality to address all modeling, assembly, and production requirements - for even the most complex designs and assemblies. Developed and supported by one, performance-proven vendor, the resulting, associative nvironment makes your product development process more flexible, collaborative, and productive.
Full Associativity - Driving Change
Throughout the Product Development Process
Full associativity enables design changes to propagate throughout the entire product
development process - updating deliverables such as assemblies, drawings, and bills of material (BOMs) and
driving downstream applications such as simulation, process planning, and production. This associativity facilitates
concurrent work and design optimization - enabling teams to create innovative, production-quality products, while cutting
development time and costs.
User Productivity
Pro/ENGINEER, with its unmatched power and reliability, and - Designed for
Microsoft Windows - offers an optimized user interface for ease of learning, growth and use. As a result, engineers at every
experience level can quickly and easily capture design ideas - for greater creativity, productivity, and competitive
advantage.
Scalability - for Maximizing ROI
Pro/ENGINEER provides the most flexible, scalable, integrated product
development solution available today. This continuum of solutions gives individuals best-in-class productivity
tools while allowing organizations to grow at their own pace to meet changing business requirements - and to choose
the hardware environment - Designed for Windows - or native UNIX - that best suits their needs.
