Cost effective Design Engineering of Automotive Sub-Systems using SolidWorks
Driven by Cost Pressure, Profitability challenges and stringent Reliability norms,
automotive suppliers - be they Tier I, Tier II or others, are investing in SolidWorks
for their Design Engineering functions. Proven in both product design as well
as tool design for automotive products, SolidWorks has established a unique value
proposition in terms of cost of investment, ownership as well as efficiency.
Why should Automotive Suppliers invest in SolidWorks?
Among many reasons attributed, by companies, to buying SolidWorks, following analysis
provide compelling justification to move forward with SolidWorks.
- Is Correctness and Completeness of Drawings according to ASME / ISO Standards important
and relevant?
- Is Cost reduction mandatory for every product designed?
- Is Design Validation becoming a regular requirement to meeting product performance
criteria?
- Is 0 PPM at least cost a requirement?
- Is staying profitable essential?
- Is development of new technologies relevant for market leadership?
- Is Overall cost of investment important to ensure profitability?
If any of the above provides an affirmative answer, then it is time to Invest in
SolidWorks, now.

Customers of SolidWorks have enjoyed many benefits while designing Automotive Subsystems.
Compelling
Reasons for purchasing SolidWorks include:
- Design Ease of Use
- No contemporary CAD software comes close to SolidWorks in Intuitive Design and
Productivity without compromising ergonomics.
- DimXpert - Empowers
development of G D and T (
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing ) based Drawing generation per
ANSI/ ISO Standards for correctness and completeness
- Integrated FEA and CFD
Validation - Solidworks Simulation
and SolidWorks Flow Simulation helps determine
Factors of Safety, Fatigue Life Assessment, Efficiency estimation, Vibration Response,
Sensors for Test Correlation among a rich set of Design Validation tools.
- Integrated Tolerance Stack Up Analysis -
Perform Assembly Build and Achieve Low-Cost Tolerancing strategies towards 0 PPM objectives.
- True CAD Inter-operability - With over 20
integrated translators, such as, Pro/Engineer, Autodesk Inventor, Mechanical Desktop,
Solid Edge, Unigraphics, Parasolid, ACIS, STEP, CATIA Graphics (CGR - Read Only),
CADKEY among others
- Documentation and Manual
Preparation - An essential part of the product development process, this
is vital and an intrinsic part of the Company Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)
that needs to be stored and re-used.
Popularity of SolidWorks in the automotive supplier community is a true testament
of a Cost-effective, Reliable and Productive Design environment for Fit, Form and
Functional requirements.
