2. Application of Shape Design Common Tool
3. Create Solid Modeling by Applying Close Surface and ThicknessClass Duration 3 days Expected Effects - Create models of almost all free surfaces using Surface
- Analyze and revise history after receiving Surface data from parent company
- Make Wireframe Geometry using Base in End Surface function
- Easily make changes by defining surface parameter as a design parameter
- Check assembly part interference after creating Surface based on design standardsImprovement Measures - Surface Expert involves learning CATIA functions only. What's more important is analyzing Reference Geometry and determining design requirements of the parent company. Another class that teaches applications of CATIA V5 Surface is necessary.
- The quality of line where 2 surfaces join is very important. Low-quality surface cannot create a solid. To overcome this, efforts must be made to reduce the time of changing the design by using various functions to improve quality of CATIA Healing and Surface.
- A design process must be written in a way that allows for easy revision of specific interferences to improve efficiency in design time. Design process must be sufficiently reviewed prior to the design phase. -
Digital Mockup Class
Name of Class Digital Mockup Class Overview Review production and assembly and verify design quality during the design phase by generating all product designs into 3D and assembling them on a computer screen. Class Description 1. Basic Kinematics
- Kinematics Joint and Simulation
2. Application of Kinematics
- Sensor Application and Practical TrainingClass Duration 2 days Expected Effects 1. Reduce duration of product development
- Switch from previous sequential designing to concurrent designing
- Single database is shared by all departments improving inter-departmental communication
- Optimized product development processes
2. Reduced product development costs
- Minimize prototype production due to advanced assembly and design review via a computer

- Significantly reduced changes in design
3. Improved design quality
- Accurate 3D solid modeling to improve design quality and reduce production error
- Interference check and assembly/disassembly simulation via a computer
- Reduced design errors through data sharingImprovement Measures - A digital mockup is used to check product assembly and mechanical movements of a product before production, but it is not 100% guaranteed. It is important to customize and standardize production to meet company requirements.
- The assembly data file of an entire product has a large data size making it difficult to control. Thus, it is recommended to simulate only the parts needed for the task.
- Mechanical movement is only for simple movements. For dynamic simulation, a module that supports dynamics is needed. Also, the joint component between two parts is most important in a mechanical movement. It is essential to understand the product's mechanism. -
CV5 Analysis Class
Name of Class CV5 Analysis Class Overview Understand and use basic process of structural analysis Class Description 1. Basic Finite Element Method
2. Application of Structural Analysis Process
3. Verification of Simulation ResultsClass Duration 3 days Expected Effects - Improve design through visual confirmation of stress distribution
- Cultivate high-level manpower through education by a structural analysis designer
- CAD-based structural analysis reduces time compared to heterogeneous processes
- Enhanced reliability through safety verification of proprietary productsImprovement Measures - CAD-based simulation tools sometimes has poorer results compared to special simulation tools. This does not stem from the difference between simulation algorithms but from a non-expert inputting arbitrary conditions. Therefore, it is vital to precisely understand the finite element method.
- There are many ways to verify simulation results. Do not take simulation results as true. To verify, it is important to make a habit of checking each value.
- Building a system that can define the history of changes in the design is also needed.
- If a product can be designed to require less materials and safety but achieve identical performance as before, this will lead to cost reduction. Public trust of company products will rise by enhancing technology and accumulating structural analysis data. -
