Model-Based-Definition (MBD)
The desire for a single reliable data source for product manufacturing information (PMI) is growing. For this model-based approach, we would like to make your work easier.
What is meant by the model-based approach?
With the introduction of geometry-describing 3D CAD models, the world of technical documentation has changed. In addition to the classic 2D drawing, the 3D model has adopted the geometric product description. However, this resulted in two co-existing sources of information that must be kept in sync at great effort (Model-Centric Design).
The desire for a single source of reliable data providing all information needed to manufacture a product is perfectly understandable and has evolved under the term of Model-Based-Definition (MBD).
It also can be seen as moving product and manufacturing information (PMI) from the traditional 2D drawing into the 3D model, replacing the drawing.
The integration of this approach into the much broader number of business processes is referred to as Model-Based-Enterprise (MBE).
Why is MBD becoming increasingly important?
The model-based approach significantly increases the information content and quality of the 3D model and makes it even more suitable for further automation of downstream processes.
The implementation of MBD/MBE may initially challenge companies the one or the other way, before the full potential will be achieved.
In our Creo/Parametric specific world at B&W, we have been dealing with these challenges for quite some time in order to make it easier for you to enter the world of MBD with our software support.
The tools we provide are aimed at the day-to-day work of design engineers who need to find their way around this new environment. Topics like the use of legacy data, standard notes, or even color coding are addressed.
Why B&W?
In our Creo Parametric related world at B&W Software, we have been dealing with these challenges for some time in order to make it easier for you to get started in the area of MBD.
The tools are aimed at the daily work of designers who have to find their way in this still new and challenging environment. Questions about the use of legacy data, standard notes, or color coding are addressed. After successful implementation, you benefit from faster turnaround times due to reduced queries and misunderstandings as well as a lower error rate.
Our small, specialized team in the heart of Erlangen focuses on the development and implementation of MBD solutions for Creo Parametric. Discover how Model-Based Definition can revolutionize your product development. Contact us for personal advice.
Your advantages when implementing MBD /MBE
- Get away from paper-based processes
- Improved automation of downstream processes
- Faster and more efficient production
- Less prone to errors
- Machine-to-machine communication
- More structured data and product information
- Fast and easy data access from downstream functions
SmartMBDTools – for a seamless MBD adoption
SmartMBDTools is an add-on application for Creo Parametric that
largely enhances the genuine CAD software with a wide range of
functions in the area of Model-Based Definition (MBD).
This modular tool harmonizes and supplements already existing software
solutions to enable designers to smoothly enter or switch to the world of
model-based design, but also supports administrators while providing
standardized content and workflows for MBD usage.
