Design and CAD
Many of the major advances we have made in recent times have a lot to owe to the power that today's modern design and CAD systems offer us engineers. Today we live in an exciting world where are are almost limited only by what we can imagine.

Air France-KLM Group takes delivery today of its first Airbus A380 double-decker jet fitted with a lounge bar and on-demand video, luxuries that have complicated assembly of the plane already plagued by production delays.
Letting airlines take travel comfort to the next level with showers, enclosed suites or bar lounges has made the A380 a hit on routes in Asia where the super-jumbo operates. For Airbus, the gizmos have spawned engineering woes that haunt a program reeling from cost overruns, sluggish demand and order deferrals. |

Today’s workstation can provide you with a magnificent digital canvas to create tomorrow today. With workstations powered by two Intel® Xeon® 5500 series processors, engineers have the opportunity to create, shape, test and modify products before they become real. Engineers can now design, visualize and simulate products from the conceptual design phase through the entire manufacturing process. This is done virtually before any investments are made in a prototype.

The MathWorks today announced that General Motors Company (GM) has developed its
Two-Mode Hybrid powertrain control system using Model-Based Design. By using
math and simulation-based tools from The MathWorks, GM designed the powertrain
prototype within 9 months, shaving 24 months off the expected development time.
The complex control system is currently in production in the GMC Sierra Hybrid,
GMC Yukon Hybrid, Chevy Tahoe Hybrid, Chevy Silverado Hybrid, and Cadillac
Escalade Hybrid vehicles. |

A new, five megawatt (MW) solar thermal power plant that was designed in SolidWorks software went online in August to provide electricity to 4,000 homes near Los Angeles, Calif. The company that designed the plant, called eSolar, used the software to design heliostat mirrors that reflect and concentrate sunlight to a boiler that generates steam and powers a standard turbine to create solar energy.
Heliostat mirrors reflect and concentrate sunlight to a boiler that generates steam and powers a turbine to create solar energy.
Funded in part by Google, eSolar is an Idealab company that develops and constructs modular, scalable solar thermal power plants. eSolar standardizes heliostat production to reduce costs and development time, while simplifying deployment. The company uses 20 licenses of SolidWorks to engineer the exact mirror specifications that can withstand extreme winds yet be light enough for easy electronic adjustment.
In August 2009, a solar thermal power plant started providing electricity to 4,000 homes near Los Angeles, Calif.
eSolar engineers used SolidWorks to ensure mirror manufacturability and east of assembly.
eSolar’s engineers calculated precise tolerances and part fits on screen and were able to eliminate a full prototype cycle that usually takes up to four months. Contract manufacturers worked with the software designs to ensure manufacturability and ease of assembly. eSolar also used SolidWorks Workgroup product data management (PDM) software to ensure version control while different engineers simultaneously worked on the same design.

When a molded part fails , a search inevitably begins for the cause. But there may not be one. That is, there may be several, plus relationships between them that can add layers to the problem.
As outlined in the first two parts of this case study, some detailed examination of failed gears as well as a thorough engineering analysis of the stresses in the application and the long-term behavior of the polymer used had produced a reasonable explanation for the root cause of the failures. However, the model used to characterize the material’s long-term properties still predicted a time to failure that was two to three times the actual lifetime of the parts coming back from the field.

I was trained as an industrial designer, but it took me a long time before I realized the difference between being a designer and thinking like one. Seven years of undergraduate and graduate education and 15 years of professional practice went by before I had any inkling that what I was doing was more than simply a link in a chain that connected a client’s engineering department to the folks upstairs in marketing.
