PROCESS GUIDELINES 3rd Project Phase Elaboration and Materialisation Prepared by Niccolò Becattini May, 2019
3rd Project Phase Elaboration and Materialisation Characteristics that requirements and the specification should comply with Niccolò Becattini
Where we were, are and will be Initial Phase (1) Product Development Process Fuzzy Front End Project Definition and Vision Conceptual Phase (2) Conceptual Design and Early Embodiment of the solution Solution Concept(s) Elaboration and Materialization Phase (3) Late embodiment and Detail Design of the solution Virtual Prototype of the solution, simulation and documentation Evaluation Phase (4) Workshop for final solution refinement and estimation of its potential
Deliverables and Deadlines • Report: May 23rd • Max 10000 words • 3D CAD files: May 23rd • Parts • Sub-Assemblies • Complete Assembly • Simulation Files: May 23rd • Motion study • Static analysis • Bill of Materials: May 23rd • Draft of the whole solution (not drafts/drawings of sub-assemblies or parts) and exploded view: May 23rd • Renders: Optional for phase 3, to be done compulsorily in Ljubljana) 3 Weeks Duration of this phase: Next Review Meeting: May 27 th Consolidation Meeting: May 30 th
Expectations for 3rd project review Concept Refinement Mechanical Consolidation of the Parts & Assembly (e.g. combination of Behaviour solution and Modeling solutions, definition of sub- (Tasks to be distributed assessment Documentation systems) (Simulations for parts, sub- (Finalization of 3D models, among all the team + members, according to the assemblies, final assembly. Report, Bill of Materials, E.g. FEM, Kinematic and/or File Structure, Render, Cost Gantt Chart planning) Dynamic Analyses...) analysis…) May 6th-10th May 9th-20th May 15th-23th May 18th-26th Note: Despite this is displayed as a sequential process, dates show that overlaps and iterations might be necessary for fine tuning the solution and documenting it
Concept Refinement 1. Reconsider the concept which was selected as the most promising during the 2nd review meeting 2. Apply/propose the required modification as highlighted by the company representative 3. Start planning a general layout for your solution • Where will the subsystems be placed? • How much room do they need? 4. Check for existing components that should not be produced from scratch and that are available in the market • Check for existing 3D models to import • Check the toolbox/shop of components embedded in your CAD modelling system
Gantt Chart 1. Identify required sub-systems for your solution 2. Organize your work in tasks and subtasks • Sub-systems can be used as a reference to organize tasks 3. Identify relationships between subsystems and plan the tasks accordingly (in time and contents) 4. Define appropriate timeslots for each task and subtask 5. Allocate sufficient human resources to carry out each of your tasks • Define responsibilities • Define required inputs • Define expected outputs
Parts and Assembly Modelling 1. Share ideas with your team mates about the software to use and find an agreement 2. Define, if needed, an adequate file format for file exchange among team members • If your group uses SolidWorks and Catia, it is easy to share part files between software and also across versions of the same software by means of .3dxml file format to limit feature losses 3. Start modelling parts as stated in Gantt Chart (refer to prof. Grafinger’s lecture for modelling guidelines) 4. Mate parts and create sub-assemblies according to the Gantt Chart 5. Mate sub-assemblies and make a complete 3D model of your solution
(Mechanical) Behaviour Assessment 1. Identify moving and static parts 2. Double check the consistency of mutual relationships between/among parts and subassemblies with the expected analysis you want to run 3. Identify working conditions you would like to simulate, for instance: • Constraints • Loads • Movements • Maximum or minimum room required • … 4. Refer to prof. Grafinger’s lecture for simulation guidelines
Consolidation and Documentation 1. Finalize the complete 3D model of your solution by fixing what was not satisfactory after the assessment 2. Define a structure for your report 3. Include in your report some crucial factors to evaluate the goodness of your solution: • Manufacturing costs • Potential sale prices • Potentially evaluated differences between Make OR Buy approaches 4. Attach relevant files to your report • 3D models • Bill of Materials (BOM) • Renders (if any) • …
