Electrum utilizes the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud to develop their new electric motorcycle
Electrum, a new brand of electric motorcycles, utilizes the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Their mission is to support Indonesia’s shift to low-carbon, sustainable transport and to ultimately help the country’s government achieve its vision of net…
Model-based quality (MBQ) is part of the Siemens closed loop quality solution for failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), control and inspection planning, variation simulation analysis, metrology and dimensional planning and validation (DPV).
Siemens MBQ delivers new advancements. From variation analysis and CMM inspection programming to data collection, analysis and reporting, model-based quality software helps companies reduce risk and ensure higher quality products and processes well in advance of production.
Variation analysis (VA) software helps simulate manufacturing and assembly processes to predict and quantify the amounts and causes of variation in a 3D environment. The software leverages Monte-Carlo simulation and a ConJoin assembly constraint engine for static and kinematic assembly operations within the full range of allowable constraints, and integration to finite element analysis solvers for comprehension of component flexibility due to clamping, welding and springback. VA (a.k.a. VisVSA) is based on the Teamcenter Visualization framework and can run in connected (managed) and disconnected (standalone) fashion.
The following enhancements are available in Variation Analysis for Teamcenter Visualization 14.3.
New custom operations
New custom assembly operations:
New custom measurement operations:
This enhancement delivers basic support for spherical features in assembly operations.
This release of Variation Analysis offers a new and improved Quick Tour tutorial included in the online help, multi-face selection for spherical feature definition and improved sorting for summary reports.
