Cost effective Design Engineering of Automotive Sub-Systems using
SolidWorks
Driven
by Cost Pressure, Profitability challenges and stringent Reliability
norms, automotive suppliers - be they Tier I, Tier II or others, are
investing in SolidWorks for their Design Engineering functions.
Proven in both product design as well as tool design for automotive
products, SolidWorks has established a unique value proposition in
terms of cost of investment, ownership as well as efficiency.
Why should Automotive Suppliers invest in SolidWorks?
Among many reasons attributed, by companies, to buying SolidWorks,
following analysis provide compelling justification to move forward
with SolidWorks.
- Is Correctness and Completeness of Drawings according to ASME /
ISO Standards important and relevant?
- Is Cost reduction mandatory for every product designed?
- Is Design Validation becoming a regular requirement to meeting
product performance criteria?
- Is 0 PPM at least cost a requirement?
- Is staying profitable essential?
- Is development of new technologies relevant for market leadership?
- Is Overall cost of investment important to ensure profitability?
If any of the above provides an affirmative answer, then it is time to
Invest in SolidWorks, now.

Automotive Subsystems.
Compelling
Reasons for purchasing SolidWorks
include:
- Design
Ease of Use - No contemporary CAD software comes close to
SolidWorks in Intuitive Design and Productivity without compromising
ergonomics.
- DimXpert
- Empowers development of G D
and T ( Geometric Dimensioning
and
Tolerancing ) based Drawing generation per
ANSI/ ISO Standards for correctness and completeness
- Integrated
FEA and CFD Validation - Solidworks
Simulation and SolidWorks Flow
Simulation helps determine Factors of Safety, Fatigue Life
Assessment, Efficiency estimation, Vibration Response, Sensors for Test
Correlation among a rich set of Design Validation tools.
- Integrated Tolerance Stack Up
Analysis - Perform Assembly Build and Achieve Low-Cost
Tolerancing strategies towards 0 PPM
objectives.
- True CAD Inter-operability
- With over 20 integrated translators, such as, Pro/Engineer, Autodesk
Inventor, Mechanical Desktop, Solid Edge, Unigraphics, Parasolid, ACIS,
STEP, CATIA Graphics (CGR - Read Only), CADKEY among others
- Documentation
and Manual Preparation - An essential part of the
product development process, this is vital and an intrinsic part of the
Company Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) that needs to be stored and
re-used.
Popularity of SolidWorks in the automotive supplier community is a true
testament of a Cost-effective, Reliable and Productive Design
environment for Fit, Form and Functional requirements.
