The R2021x release (cloud-only) introduced a new role, “Digital Mockup Review Manager” (trigram ‘RED-OC’), which is a web role that enables users to review and assess existing digital mockups from web browsers and on the cloud.
This role targets various enterprise stakeholders who do not need any direct access or authoring of the CAD data, such as product, quality and manufacturing engineers who need to participate in early reviews to identify potential issues sooner and avoid costly fixes later in the cycle.
Note:
This role is a review and validation role that does not generate annotations or the interferences (see below). Other roles are used to create such content, such as Design Reviewer (DER) and Design Review Manager (DEY).
This role contains two apps (widgets):
3D Annotation Insight
With this app, users can review design dimensions, tolerances and 3D annotations by applying different filters on the digital mockup:
Interference check
With this app, users can identify, analyze, validate and collaborate around design and manufacturing issues and errors early in the development process. This is done by reviewing and assessing product interference (clashes, contacts or clearances) based on the standard and the engineering connection specifications, while sharing the status with other collaborators and reporting on issues of concern through formal issue and/or change management processes, in order to resolve these issues.
The process is:
- Search and open existing interference simulation.
- Open and review the interference metrics of the simulation.
- Analyze the interferences through sectioning, measuring and other analysis tools on the product.
- Generate issues for the relevant interference metrics and assign them to the right person while describing the expected actions.
- If a product modification is required, then create a change action from the interference metric and assign it to the relevant designer.
You can also generate an interference simulation report in a CSV format by exporting the interference simulation results to a CSV file:
