Using Automated Modeling Templates In CATIA Join us on our 3rdsession of CATIA at 12:00 PM ET! Click here for more info! Automated modeling templates can be used and reused to create a wide range of CATIA models. These templates allow you to quickly and easily create a Detailed Model (LOD400,500) from a Simple Design Model (LOD200,300). The following functionalities are part of a broader concept entitled the ‘Smart Configurator’ which encompasses a diverse range of configuration capabilities. What is a Smart Configurator? The Smart Configurator allows a diverse range of stakeholders in modular projects to optimize their outputs by providing users with not only an intelligent, parametric model, but a model which contains all options and configurations possible for a specific product line. Furthermore, the Smart Configurator allows users to generate the following outputs: 1. Smart production drawings automatically updated when modifications occur 2. MSRP Price & Base Cost calculation automatically generated based on configuration/options selections 3. Accurate BOM automatically generated and aligned with production drawings 4. High-Definition Renderings Product configurations and options consolidated in a 150% Smart Model. How can we derive engineering results from the design model? With automated modeling templates, users identify inputs, automate the process and generate outputs. For example: Inputs: Users define the input list and select bodies from the Simple Design Model (LOD200,300). Automation: The system shows an instance of the item based on the 3D automated templates. Users can build in custom business rules to govern the model and the template. Outputs: The system generates a Bill of Material (BOM) for raw materials/parts. Users can export the results in XLM or XLS format. For example, the automation can output data about the volume, surface area and quantities of raw materials/parts required for the design. It shows a full automation of fabrication drawings and updates the BOM for raw materials/parts To learn more in detail about how we can help you in your area of work, get in touch with us at info@viascorp.com or visit www.vias3d.com
