Coaching in communicating and implementing Digital Mock-Up (DMU) methods

Sectors: Automotive
Category: Consulting
Process: Development
Introduction
The communicating methods project of a well-known automotive manufacturer from southern Germany aimed to establish method standards in the CA environment and to consolidate the application of these standards in the technical development areas.

IndustrieHansa was tasked with the job of coaching in the communication of methods.

Solution: Implementation was based firstly on networking the various subject-oriented coaching teams and secondly making ready an info center. This center offers all the relevant information on the method standards and is open to everyone involved in development work both from within and outside the company.

Puncture points
  • Management of product structures
  • Visualization of a new product in a 3D CAD system
  • Collision analysis to ensure geometric coherence
  • Analysis of free access for simulating installation and removal
  • On-site workshops for CAD/DMU users
  • Networking with a PDM/TDM company and the CA service to offer staff involved in development work the support they need
  • Support in the further development of systems by users being represented in the appropriate bodies
  • Phone-based support on methodical and procedural issues in the DMU Environment
  • Recording of specific weak points in the process and passing on this information to the persons responsible in the development of methods

Benefits
As well as establishing the current method standards, the communicating methods project also aimed to implement methodical specifications in the productive vehicle project in the sense of detailing methods. By providing on-site support the IndustrieHansa experts were heavily involved in the attainment of this aim. Their work also helped in enhancing quality and reducing costs and development times.
