Autodesk - Manufacturing Solutions

If you’re trying to manufacture competitive products, you’ve got your work cut out for you. Rapid globalization, smaller production runs, and the need for ultra fast time to market are putting the heat on you to do business better—much better. To meet these challenges you need a complete, integrated solution tuned to your specific industry requirements. Offering the most innovative 2D and 3D design tools, as well as the only practical data management solution on the market, Autodesk® manufacturing solutions provide everything you need to realize your ideas—more quickly, while reducing costs

          Industrial Machinery & Equipment

When it comes to industrial machines—including equipment for oil and gas extraction, food production, and semiconductor manufacturing—thousands of components must come together flawlessly. Coordinating the design of these assemblies is a huge effort, almost as massive as the machines themselves. And low production runs—in some cases just a single machine—mean that all units must be produced at a profit. Autodesk® manufacturing solutions for industrial machines enable manufacturers to work on complex designs in 2D and 3D, share design data easily, and achieve maximum profit in a world of razor-thin margins.

                   

           Consumer Products

From cell phones to flat-screen TVs, consumer products make life more efficient, convenient, and fun. With aesthetics just as important as functionality, they require high-end design and rock-solid engineering. And the design process needs to move fast. In the consumer products market, first-mover advantage is crucial, and even a few days lost may mean losing customers—and revenue—to competitors. Autodesk® manufacturing solutions for consumer products enable team members from different disciplines to collaborate effectively, work with both 2D and 3D design systems, and get to market faster. For manufacturers needing to satisfy consumers’ hunger for new lifestyle accessories, it all starts here.

                   

     Building & Plant Equipment

What do equipment suppliers, facility operators, contractors, and architects have in common? The need to make the “guts” of a building—from HVAC systems to lighting systems to elevators—work seamlessly with its overall design. Design takes place in both 2D and 3D systems, and team members are separated by hallways, time zones, or hemispheres. Coordinating design efforts provides major benefits. It’s also extremely challenging. Autodesk® manufacturing solutions for building and plant equipment manufacturers rise to the challenge, offering a powerful solution that addresses the flow of design data, reduces complexity, and delivers Autodesk reliability in a low-risk, competitively priced package. Only Autodesk can offer products, services, and expertise across the entire range of manufacturing and building industries. And because your customers already know Autodesk products, collaboration comes naturally.

                  

    Transportation

If you’re in the business of building the machines that move people from one place to another, you know you’ve got to do the same with your design data. It doesn’t matter whether you’re creating passenger cars, trucks, buses, special-purpose motor vehicles, or the parts that go into them—you need to stay competitive through efficient management of your designs. In the transportation industry, the combination of 2D and 3D designs, increasing lifecycle costs, globalization, and mass customization all make the management of your design data more complex than ever. Autodesk® manufacturing solutions for transportation enable you to work easily with both 2D and 3D designs, manage your data as it travels through extended teams, and get to market faster.

     Autodesk Electrical                                 Price   

    
AutoCAD Electrical software provides a true electrical controls engineering and design environment. It helps you create better designs, reduce errors, and save time by enabling you to focus on design and engineering tasks rather than on repetitive drafting functions. Project reports such as bills of materials (BOMs), from/to wire lists, and terminal reports are automatically generated from the schematic design. This capability alone offers significant productivity gains and helps reduce errors.
Associative production drawing functionality enables you to automate drawing creation, thus accelerating design time. Furthermore, you can make design changes faster and more accurately than with standard AutoCAD software
AutoCAD Electrical provides tools such as Save Circuit, which saves a circuit to the icon menu for use in any project. When inserted, the circuit updates component tags, wire numbers, and even cross-referencing when applicable. In addition, AutoCAD Electrical automatically renumbers your wires and devices based on the new project’s configuration

MSCSoftware                                  Price   

   MSCSoftware combines the worlds of motion simulation and finite element analysis in the desktop environment. It helps you put your design in motion to size motors and bearings, determine interferences & collisions and calculate joint loads. With your calculated forces, you can determine the stresses; vibration modes, buckling and heat transfer characteristics throughout your entire assembly.

   Patran:
   Patran is the leading pre- and post processor for CAE simulation. The program’s advanced modeling and surfacing tools allow you to create a finite element model from scratch. You can also take advantage of Patran's advanced CAD access tools to work directly on your existing CAD model. With direct access, Patran imports model geometry without modifications. No translation takes place, so your CAD geometry remains intact. After geometry is imported, you can use Patran to define loads, boundary conditions, and material properties.
  
Marc:
 
Finite element analysis (FEA) is a critical part of the virtual design process. But because most FEA programs are linear, they can only study parts that deform a small amount, certainly not enough to deformation to exceed the linear elastic range of the materials. But Marc has no such limitations. A nonlinear FEA program, Marc enables you to assess the structural integrity and performance of parts undergoing large permanent deformations as a result of thermal or structural load.
   Adam:
   When designing a mechanical system such as an automotive suspension or an aircraft landing gear, you need to understand how various components (pneumatics, hydraulics, electronics, and so on) interact as well as what forces (noise, vibration, and harshness) those components generate during operation. Adams is a motion simulation solution for analyzing the complex behavior of mechanical assemblies. Adams allows you test virtual prototypes and optimize designs for performance, safety, and comfort, without having to build and test numerous physical prototypes.
  
Dytran:
 
Dytran is an explicit finite element analysis (FEA) solution for analyzing complex nonlinear behavior involving permanent deformation of material properties or the interaction of fluids and structures. Dytran enables you to study the structural integrity of designs to ensure that final products stand a better chance of meeting customer safety, reliability, and regulatory requirements.
  
Easy:
 
In the aerospace and automotive industries, engineers often assemble products schematically using special iconic blocks that represent systems and subsystems, such as valves, actuators, heat exchangers, and so on. Easy5 is a schematic-based simulation software that allows you to model and simulate dynamic systems containing hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, thermal, electrical, and digital subsystems.
  
Sofy:
  Sofy is a finite-element (FE) modeler that allows you to capture, create and deploy robust, standardized finite-element processes throughout your organization. A variety of modules in Sofy allow you to capture standard finite-element processes or to program your own custom processes. The ability to pre- and post-process finite-element models automatically increases overall productivity and eliminates the need to constantly check and recheck the modeling methods.
