Happy Holidays! 2019 in Review - Webinars, Articles, and Blogs on Tolerance Analysis and SPC

Dec 18, 2019 1:31:42 PM

Happy Holidays from DCS 

As we get ready for 2020, we'd like to look back at 2019 at all the webinars, articles, and blogs that we've shared and bring them all together 

Thank you for an incredible year! It is you, our clients, that keep DCS running, and your feedback that drives our webinars and articles. With over 600 registrants to the 2019 webinar series, we're excited see so much interest in 3DCS features and applications. 

As of December 12th, we wrapped up our Digital GD&T Series, which lasted over the last two years. The final webinar, which brought Vince Radziecki from Bordrin New Energy Vehicle Company in to present one of his tolerance analysis models, was a great showcase of the modeling process. If you missed it, you can scroll down for the recording.

The Digital GD&T series began with three webinars on creating GD&T (whether FTA or PMI) in CATIA, NX, and CREO, then moved into topics to utilize that GD&T. As the series progressed, topics ranged wider to Pattern Move, Measurements, Model Variants, and other modeling techniques. In case you missed any, you can see all of 2019's webinars on demands below.

2019 also showcased a number of articles, blogs, and whitepapers. DCS partners with Waterloo University to promote tolerance analysis in prefabricated buildings and structures, as well as Daimler to validate 3DCS Compliant Modeler, 3DCS' Finite Element Analysis add-on module that connects FEA to your tolerance analysis studies.

Additionally, DCS worked with experts in the industry to provide their insight to our audience. Norm Crawford, GD&T and Model Based Definition Specialist, provided insight into the industry, MBD, and GD&T over the course of five articles. 

  1. Understanding Model Based Definition with an Expert in GD&T
  2. What is Model Based Definition MBD? Why Implement Model Based Definition?
  3. The Largest Barrier and Common Mistakes in Implementing Model Based Definition
  4. Adopting GD&T – Getting Started with GD&T in Model Based Definition
  5. Academic and Generational Influence on Model Based Definition Adoption

DCS' Partner CENIT was busy writing and presenting to their clients in Europe, and sharing with us in the US and abroad. Two of the articles in particular, one discussing different definitions of Digital Twins, and the other focused on the process of moving from EXCEL to 3D analysis models and Digital Twins. The third article discussed the continually evolving applications of simulation in smaller business as the barriers to simulation technology become lower and lower. 

DCS was published in Manufacturing Today, sharing insights from Gary Bell, Senior Variation Analyst and ASME GD&T Trainer, Don Jasurda, DCS VP of Sales, Thagu Vivek, QDM Product Manager, and Dave Johnson, 3DCS Product Manager.

Chad Jackson, from Lifecycle Insights, provided his thoughts on 3DCS software and QDM Systems. As Chief Analyst, Chad Jackson leads Lifecycle Insights’ research and thought leadership programs, attends and speaks at industry events, and reviews emerging technology solutions. As CEO, Chad defines Lifecycle Insights’ vision and change initiatives. Chad reviews many products in the market, and offered his thoughts on the DCS solution.

Other articles by DCS included a Case Study review from 2018 on Jaguar Land Rover, as well as insights from The Quality Show into why companies were hesitant about adopting SPC systems. Further articles discussed MBD and the use of GD&T, including a summary of GD&T use in DVA across CAD platforms.
