Introduction Frédéric Noël – Génie Industriel

What are you expecting ?

What is product modelling ?

Which product models do you know ?
Why are they used for ?
Which underlying constraints ?
 Lesson goals

Awareness about product development

tools : focus on geometric aspects

To build product development processes with

heterogeneous tools : to anticipate the model
flow.

To maintain coherency between models

Introduction Frédéric Noël – Génie Industriel

 Lesson Outline
●
Lessons :
●
Generic fundamentals driving engineering tools
●
Main tools which are used during product development
●
Practise : project to develop a digital mockup
●
By two,1,5h time slots reserved in the agenda + extra free
time expected !
●
Several sequences :
●
Tutorials : we start every new sequence with a tutorial

 A product development example

Your customer requires a product :

A flight simulator integrated in a real plane
cabine
He is in contact with partners providing the
cabine
The flight simulator should be used by
children to promote the discipline
The simulator should provide similar
ergonomics as a real plane.

 Questions ?

What will be your main tasks ?

What are the expected skills ?
What tools to support the development
activity ?
How do you ensure coherency between the
various stakeholders ? (your are a team of
several engineers and you have partners)
How to ensure the quality of the result ?
What does it mean ?
How do you organize your project
management ? Data flows and GANTT ?

Introduction Frédéric Noël – Génie Industriel

What do you do ?
 Many models for many usages

What are the input data ?

What are the output data ?

What are the activities to achieve ?

How do we link activities together ?

How do we share information ?

How do we archive information ?

Introduction Frédéric Noël – Génie Industriel

 A classic process

To write requirements : TDC Need

Technical solutions
Architecture definition
CAD modeling
Business studies : simulations,
evaluations, manufacturing studies.
Prototyping
Industrialization
Production
Introduction Frédéric Noël – Génie Industriel
 Initial step

Imagine the project end

What will you deliver ? You must be
pragmatic
Rewind the process towards input
information: backward process
Write this goals
Negotiate with your customer

 Exemple Montabert (suite)

66000 UG CAD files

1650 DXF files
1616 NC programs
11000 scanned drawings
21000 HPGL drawings
10 days a year for Data Base maintenance

Introduction Frédéric Noël – Génie Industriel

 Key values to understand context
complexity
Product life about ≅ 30 years
⇒ to maintain data all along the product life
(High speed train Paris-Lyon)
To shorten delays (1 plane = 10 ans, 1 car
=18 months)
Number of collaborators involved during
design ≅ 1500 (source Renault : 1996).
⇒ to share and to exchange data
≅ 50 % of design costs are due to design
loops (source Boeing : Det 2004).
⇒ “Build it right the first time !”
