Engineers can render models created with the Part, Assembly, and Sheet Metal modules using special effects that include translucency, colored light sources, anti-aliasing, reflections, textures, and shadows. These features simplify the preparation of analysis runs and provide configuration-management capabilities. If problems are found, the program prioritizes them for presentation to the engineer or operator for further evaluation. Severity, duration, and time of day are calculated and monitored. The software provides this information on the basis of current measured values received from the plant information computer.
Information is stored in a database and available to the company network.
Lean helps engineers design products that can be assembled using the best combinations of subassemblies in a lean production environment. The program measures the total interdependence for any assembly path and optimizes the assembly path for a given product. When a demand profile is specified by the user, the program determines the probability of meeting or exceeding the demand and the expected demand production shortfall over a specified period. A document is produced that contains the necessary data to design an appropriate diaphragm, including available size selection. The program also calculates burst, stroke, and height requirements.
