The hottest product life cycle management solution

Application of product lifecycle management solution in six sigma Design

1. Comprehensive product development environment

Six Sigma design is based on customer-oriented attribute standards that are easy to define, measure, analyze, optimize and verify. Only when the product and process attribute results are directly integrated into the product development process can the docking with the proposed production quality limits be achieved. Embedding specific design concepts in product design makes it possible to meet the performance requirements of customers

any company hopes to integrate its product attributes into the design, and almost all successful products are produced by focusing on certain performance requirements, which depend on the industry of the product and the process required for the production of specific design. Therefore, in order to effectively meet these requirements, we need to have a reasonable product development process

nowadays, most complete sets of solutions that can support these product and process attributes in parallel are embodied in NX and Teamcenter of UGS product lifecycle management solutions. It is the only company that can have such strong product and process coverage and provide fully integrated product development solutions. Nx contains the most flexible and abundant product modeling and definition capabilities, and combines with advanced computer-aided engineering analysis and computer-aided manufacturing capabilities to integrate into a complete product development environment. Both Teamcenter and NX can provide a large number of solutions to define product requirements, integrate these requirements into the design concept, and then plan and optimize the design performance and product production according to these requirements. Customers can easily define, measure, analyze, optimize and verify these different engineering disciplines to effectively achieve the goal of product development

2. Unified product development environment

user oriented specific product attributes lead to the requirements of visualization, screening and verification of these attributes. By integrating these attributes into the same environment, it is possible to compare and optimize the goals with different attributes

nx flexibly integrates a large number of product definitions, performance and production capacity into a unified environment. This unique environment has become the basis for directly connecting the performance and production positioning with the design concept. Only using this unified environment can compare, balance and optimize various product requirements

customers can also establish specific links with other different product development tools. Although NX can provide these links, it is expensive and time-consuming. Once these connections are determined, it is possible to provide tools to verify key design points without considering the impact of customer-oriented attributes. This is the role of quality tools, such as quality function deployment, failure mode, effect analysis and robust design

3. digital management

the increasing complexity of today's product development challenges shows that the amount of data created to meet customer requirements is too large, and different applications and different data forms further exacerbate this situation. Therefore, it is very important to track all relevant data in specific product R & D projects and give priority to the efficient management of these processes through the production of a certain product. The seamless integration of Teamcenter technology and NX can track all product development data

when proposing or implementing changes to the design, the advantages of the integrated system are the most significant. Using NX can promote the later change work to all aspects of the product development environment, which is much faster than the non integrated system. For example, changes in geometric model planning can be immediately upgraded and extended to simulation and manufacturing models, and then quickly understand the impact of these changes. The time difference can be calculated in days and minutes instead of months. In addition, Teamcenter also provides a series of process, workflow and impact management capabilities to ensure that these changes are properly and effectively controlled between different product development groups when necessary

the core of Six Sigma design is to effectively obtain customer-oriented product requirements and embed these requirements into product development

realizing the digital connection of customers, marketing and design demand adjustment, documents, specification requirements, modeling, test results and other product information constituting the product definition is the Value Cornerstone of UGS product lifecycle management solution

teamcenter enables customers to flexibly access, manage and allocate data, and view the impact of changes and related performance standards. These capabilities are embedded in the Teamcenter environment, enabling it to provide key information that can be used to directly affect the direction of product development, and have broad prospects for development

4. Product performance, quality standards and validation

predicting products and processes requires the experience of various disciplines and advanced tool components. Nx can provide the most cutting-edge simulation and analysis tools in the product development environment. In addition, NX also extends the capabilities of its most powerful cam manufacturing system and product development process management system. Strong product and process performance prediction is the cornerstone to ensure that products can meet the requirements of specific customers, so there is no cost. With the increasing attention of automotive lightweight, expensive product prototypes and tests

by integrating these capabilities into a single fully relevant system and combining with the cutting-edge product modeling environment, NX ensures the correct understanding and optimization of the relationship between product design, product performance and manufacturing diversity

another simple example is that NX provides tools for the complete definition of products by using geometric dimensions and geometric tolerances (GD & T), that is, holographic model definition. In order to meet the specification requirements of some specific customers, it is necessary to know which geometric dimension and geometric tolerance (GD & T) changes have the greatest impact on the specific specifications and dimensions of customers. Since the accuracy range of these geometric dimensions and geometric tolerances (GD & T) is based on the machining capacity of machine tools, the probabilistic simulation method must be used to simulate these variables, and then we can try to understand how the dimensions and geometric tolerances (GD & T) have a direct impact on customer specifications. Only by properly managing these requirements can specific cost control be achieved. This example illustrates the impact of shape changes. The same concept can also be applied to the performance changes of many products and processes, which is the main reason why NX integrates many optimization capabilities and becomes the most cutting-edge CAE tool today. In fact, in NX system, finite element analysis and simulation can even be directly connected with geometric dimension and geometric tolerance (GD & T), so as to obtain the corresponding change relationship between product performance and geometric dimension and geometric tolerance (GD & T)

5. flexible geometry, performance and modeling process

once we find the key requirements of customers, and after product confirmation, definition, simulation and estimation, we can form the design content based on these requirements. In this way, it provides a design reusable way and a general product platform, which can ensure that future product modifications can meet customer requirements with minimal workload changes

to embed product requirement knowledge directly into product definition at the bottom, a set of rich and flexible product modeling capabilities is required to ensure the performance of products and processes. Nx has very rich product modeling capabilities, including geometric dimension, performance, process and knowledge modeling capabilities. Its geometric modeling capability is a very suitable example

nx provides an advanced system based on knowledge engineering, with various modeling tools such as assembly construction, which attaches great importance to technical research and development, parametric modeling, composite modeling, direct modeling, etc., to ensure that customers can embed many design concepts into product model definitions, so as to meet the requirements of customers, rather than products meeting the requirements of the design system. Nx is different from the limited system that can only adopt parametric design; It is also different from the system that cannot effectively obtain product requirements on a large scale. From simple and fast nonparametric modeling ability to advanced knowledge-based, bi-directional correlation simulation analysis and cam processing requirements can be directly integrated. 1. Automatic calibration: the system can automatically realize the calibration of indication accuracy; With the ability of product design, NX provides the most flexible system modeling

in addition, NX also provides a rich suite of product modeling tools for general platforms. Product configuration and modification can be directly controlled through unified system tool components. From cutting-edge large-scale system level parameter control to product wave control structure, to discrete component system modification control modeling, NX is outstanding because of its flexible management and control of product configuration and modification tools. In addition, the advanced tools in Teamcenter can also control additional configuration levels and modification control to ensure that it is easy to model and effectively manage product modifications

the theme implicit in NX and Teamcenter, namely Six Sigma design, is all knowledge about products, and with the product development process, it directly affects customers. 8.2 lime sand bricks should be stored for 3 days before leaving the factory. The storage and stacking of products should meet the requirements of uneven site, grading, tidiness and stability. NX and Teamcenter provide the essence of the problems concerned by product R & D organizations and meet their needs to the greatest extent, not just the needs of simple CAD tools
