DCS DIGEST - April Edition

MBE, Tutorials, and NEW QMS

April and May are going to be busy here at DCS. We have the start of our webinar series showcasing the NEW QDMWEB QI system, redesigned, redeveloped, and available now.

Our first webinar will be highlights, interviews, and demos from the show floor of the Control Messe conference in Stuttgart, Germany. This will showcase a connected quality system utilizing the CAD model to drive quality from design to metrology and into production. Join us April 25th to see if for yourself!

Our next tutorial video is available, Model Variants. Made by Sylvia Rissell, experienced application engineer, is both an introduction and how-to training on utilizing Model Variants in your 3DCS models. This can allow you to turn each of your models into a variety of different analyses without having to create separate models. Scroll down to see for yourself.

3DCS Video Tutorial Series - Available NOW

Auto Bend Move Tutorial in 3DCS Variation Analyst (All Platforms)

The Six-Plane Move operation is likely the most commonly used move in 3DCS, but what happens when you have not three but four features that define a primary plane that you need to account for? That's where the Auto Bend Move comes into play.

The Auto Bend Move operation allows the user to define a traditional primary plane using three features. It will then auto-calculate a bend line based on where the fourth primary plane point is located. The Auto Bend Move is not limited to only four primary plane points but selection order does matter as more points are added as the auto-calculated bend line is based on where the locations of the previous points. When substantially more than four primary plane points are used, there are likely better options than the Auto Bend Move such as the Best-Fit Move or the Segment Bend Move.

Model Variants in 3DCS Software (all platforms)

Your design process may involve multiple iterations of an assembly model as the design and manufacturing process moves from the earliest concept to a profitable production product. Perhaps you may wish to evaluate different configurations, compare possible cost saving, or compare quality improvements for your existing products.

What tools does 3DCS offer to support your engineering process?

Update moves, measures, or GD&T without losing the ability to run the original version of the model
Audition multiple possible changes to the original model.
Create models, assembly variants, and model iterations efficiently.
