SolidWorks Delivers Sustainable Designs in Power Applications
Go
Green - With Global Warming and Sustainable Development
getting the focus they deserve, Power Generation Equipment
Manufacturers as well as Power Plant Integrators are looking for ways
and means to develop Next Generation Cost-effective Technologies for
Higher Efficiency and Performance. SolidWorks along with EGS
India has been working hard with various Manufacturers in India towards
augmenting their design capabilities to achieve these goals.
Why do Indian Power Plant Designers Choose SolidWorks?
Every Power Plant Equipment Manufacturer, Supplier or Integrator is
confronted with three challenges, namely, delay in project completion,
cost over-run and Re-work due to change in design, specification, site
and/or project co-ordination. An assessment of the reaons for the
stated challenges would reveal that the Drawings and the Bill of
Material Estimation form the heart of the project management.
Changes in drawings (driven by errors and/ or revision of scope) and
BOM directly influence the profitability of the Project.
SolidWorks has delivered, time and again, in helping to address these
challenges in many ways. Some of the benefits enjoyed by our
customers in Power Plant Industry include:
- Design
Automation - Integrated SolidWorks 3D and 2D designs helps
propagation of downstream and upstream changes

- Integrated
Validation - Solidworks Simulation Accurately estimates system
performance, optimization and value engineering
- Design checks such as interference detection ensures elimination
of costly re-work at site
- BOM accuracy and automatinc generation with integration to MRP/
ERP systems helps estimate quantities and costs even a priori - at the RFQ stage !
- Integrated
Product
Data Management using Enterprise PDM for Solidworks and
2D CAD drawings and designs including Non-CAD data, helps ensure
dissemination of knowledge, project status and progress, on a
need-to-know basis, in a secure manner, considerably enhancing
efficient project management.
All these initiatives, using SolidWorks, by reputed Power Plant
Equipment Manufacturers and Integrators have help address the
challenges faced by the Industry.
