Abstract
Structural modeling, simulation and analysis generates a large amount of models/data during product development, production and product support. Configurationally managing and maintaining the traceability of those analysis artifacts are critical to aerospace product qualification and certification (PQ&C). Simulation/Analysis Process and Data Management (SPDM/APDM) are critical to Boeing’s effort in digital transformation.
In this presentation, we will discuss Structural Analysis Process and Data Management (APDM) where a digital thread of analyzing aerospace structural integrity will be demonstrated by capturing CATIA geometry, generating finite element models at various levels, performing margins of safety calculation, generating Strength Check Notes (SCNs), all of which are critical artifacts for airplane certification and fleet support.
The presentation demo is focused on the Interior Responsibility Center (IRC) Integrated Design Engineering and Analysis System (IDEAAS) digital thread systems in 3DEXPERIENCE: from capturing an IRC assembly CATIA V6 model to performing analysis of the assembly to creating SCN through automation and storing SCN in 3DEXPERIENCE PLM which leverages 3DEXPERIENCE PLM capability for data traceability and data synchronization.
Details of product lifecycle management of analysis SCNs which include the use of 3DEXPERIENCE process composer to link and automate SCN analysis process, store/manage SCNs based on 3DEXPERIENCE product structure, and configuration control of SCNs through 3DEXPERIENCE impact graph, etc. will also be discussed. We will also discuss the implementation and deployment of APDM for Boeing enterprise pathfinder programs and demonstrate the benefits: Reduction in conceptual design-analysis cycle time, cost savings and enabling of first-pass quality.
