The emerging trends in the market and the progression towards Industry 4.0 indicate an increased need for “Model Based Definition” (MBD) or 3D GD&T in design and manufacturing companies. GD&T is used by engineers in drawings to convey design details to manufacturing teams. With the increased adoption of Model Based Definition, engineers now place GD&T directly into…

Startups come up with new designs and inventions. However, qualifying them as a viable product in a short period of time and preparing them for production and commercialization has many challenges. Some of the challenges could be: Design finalization and approvals as per industrial standards Prioritizing consumer experience Overcoming expensive physical validations Achieving the first-mover advantage Getting…

Introduction Composite materials are less expensive and stronger in nature in comparison to conventional materials. They are formed from two or more constituent materials which are different in physical, mechanical and chemical properties. By nature, they are light in weight and extensively employed in spacecrafts, aircrafts, buildings, bridges, racing cars, bathtubs etc. From a macroscopic point of…

The need for PLM integration with CAD is one of the key concerns of any engineering company to stay competitive and launch the product in the market in a short duration. If you are in the process of replacing your file-based CAD system with data-driven CAD, then Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform is the way to go. 3DEXPERIENCE platform…

The analysis of geotechnical problems is rather complex due to stress dependent material behavior and varying stiffness for loading and unloading conditions. Generally, soil has three different phases which are soil skeleton, pore air and pore water which often lead to complex interaction mechanism. Also, large deformation of soil continuum is observed under loading. Such complex behavior,…

What is Calibration? Calibration is the comparison of measurements with a standard, accurate reference. The mathematical material model is generally defined using equations. This mathematical model represents the response of the material, constitutive behaviour and parameter dependency for material behaviour. Material calibration techniques helps to achieve optimum, best fit or closest value of material laboratory test data…
