Baotou Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. uses industrial software to realize two-dimensional
Baotou Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. was founded by the current chairman of the company, Wang Manyuan, in 1993. Since its development, Baotou Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. can provide not only hydraulic cylinders, cylinders, high-efficiency fine oil filtering devices, lubrication filtering devices, and plunger storage. Energy, cooling, hydraulic hose assembly, hydraulic accessories and hydraulic, lubrication, pneumatic complete systems, but also according to user requirements, design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of hydraulic system components and system equipment .
The development of any enterprise is the process of "experiencing problems and solving problems." Baotou Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd., which is already in a stable development, is also facing business challenges from users and markets. Entering a new stage of development, the entire general machinery industry has undergone great changes. Wang Manyuan explained: "The range of products that users can choose is getting larger and larger, so the requirements for products are getting higher and higher. Especially the hydraulic equipment, because it is mainly used in the key links of various steel plants, so users are concerned about products and technologies. The requirements are even higher, and the quality requirements are more stringent. If the user's requirements are not met, the user will not buy it at a favorable price."
At this time, Baotou Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. has been using two-dimensional CAD system. It is well known that non-standard equipment accounts for a large proportion in the design process of hydraulic equipment. Cui Zhongqin, chief engineer of the company, said: “The function of 2D CAD design is relatively simple. On the one hand, it lacks the ability of serial design, on the other hand, it lacks the verification ability for complex product design. Therefore, in order to ensure the accuracy of the designed product, design The division often spends a lot of time on the drawing review, which not only results in a long design cycle, but also because of the manual operation, it is difficult to ensure thorough inspection, so the error rate of the drawings is also quite high."
Not only that, because the upstream and downstream companies in the industry have already applied 3D systems in large numbers, and users are also demanding to see more intuitive product models, these are obviously difficult to achieve in a two-dimensional design environment. Therefore, the obvious disadvantage of the two-dimensional CAD system in these aspects has become a hindrance to the development of Baotou Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. in the new stage.
Expectations for a 3D design platform
Quickly complete product design, rapid production of drawings; improve product quality; automatically check errors in design to ensure the correct rate of drawings; generate 3D models to meet the requirements of GB requirements... Baotou Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. launched 3D CAD in 2007 When designing a system, all the requirements are centered around how to better transform technology into products.
Of course, they also have requirements for the 3D CAD system itself. On the one hand, Baotou Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd., which has more than ten years of product development experience, hopes that the new system will not adversely affect the company's current design projects, so this system must be easy to learn and use, and designers can quickly master On the other hand, as a company still in the development stage, Baotou Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. is determined to invest a certain amount of energy and financial resources, but all of this must be controlled within an acceptable range.
Select Solid Edge and Femap with NX Nastran
After screening the 3D systems of several manufacturers, in 2008, Baotou Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. officially selected Siemens PLM Software's 3D CAD software Solid Edge® and CAE software Femap® with NX™ Nastran.
Anyone familiar with the Siemens PLM Software product line knows that Solid Edge and Femap are core components of the Velocity Series™ solution. Velocity Series™ includes Solid Edge, Femap with NX Nastran, CAM Express and Teamcenter Express, a complete PLM solution for midsize companies.
Cui Zhongqin said: "As a 3D CAD software, Solid Edge's functions in product design and modeling need not be said. The key to attracting Baotou Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. is that Solid Edge provides conversion from 2D view to 3D solids. The first-class tools, so the company does not have to abandon the two-dimensional mapping results accumulated over the years.†On the other hand, Femap with NX Nastran simplifies complex product verification, and the reduction of physical prototypes can bring cost savings and faster development cycles. It is very suitable for finite element analysis of products without more CAE experience. “The data shows that our design cycle has been reduced by 40%.â€
Like many enterprises that have upgraded their design platforms, the biggest problem encountered by Baotou Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. in the implementation process is to solve the inertia of engineers and technicians. Cui Zhongqin said: "It is much more difficult to change the design method and process of a designer than imagined." Many enterprises, in the process of implementing a new design platform, often fail due to the inertia of engineering and technical personnel. The new system is ultimately just a "new system" that does not really bring about an increase in efficiency. Baotou Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. has prepared for this. After selecting the Solid Edge system, the company issued a directive document specifically, and established a clear reward and punishment system for three-dimensional applications. This not only indicates that the company's management attaches great importance to the design platform from 2D to 3D, but also ensures that the company's design platform can be smoothly upgraded from 2D to 3D from the system level. Later facts proved that this kind of attitude-like approach played a significant role in promoting all employees to fully cooperate with the upgrade.
