New role: Manufactured Items Engineer

What

Manufactured Items Engineer (MFN) provides the capabilities to define, compare, manage and update the Manufacturing Bill of Material (MBOM).

Key activities and associated values

• Easy-to-use web client with 3D visualization reduces the time for deployment and provides the user with a more accurate representation of the MBOM
• User defined templates save time by reducing re-work

App availability: Mfg Items Management

MBOM definition in a simple web UI

MFN provides the capability to create and update a Manufacturing Item structure (in coherency with the Engineering Item structure) representing the As-Planned view of the product. It contains all the items identified on the shop floor and managed in inventory. Each item is either produced by a manufacturing process or provided by a supplier.

Key Value

• Integrated with design engineering for easy communication and parallel engineering
• Simple & flexible definition/evolution of MBOM  in consistency with EBOM
• Smart reconciliation through automation & dashboarding

New role: Material Deposition Programmer

Role Description

Prepare & Simulate the manufacturing process for Direct Energy Deposition machines and robots

Key Values

• Start from Additive Process Templates to rapidly reuse prooven manufacturing processes for additive mfg
• Prepare the part by adding offset of material for substractive operations
• Program & simulate laser path for metal deposition on multi-axis machines and robots with collision and polishing operations
• Automatic generation of simulation model including mesh, heat flux, stress distorsion and thermal boundary conditions (ultimately targeted)
• Integration with machining technics to perform Hybrid Manufacturing

Material Deposition Programmer - Workflow

Enhancement: DELMIA Process Engineering

Issue Management

Add command "Issue Management" in all Planning apps

• “Issue Management”, available as a Web App is becoming the strategy to add/follow issues and their resolution in the Platform
• This widget is now available as a web-in-win command in all Planning Apps:
  • When identifying an issue, the user can directly create an issue from the current Planning App, attach Items or Operations as elements of the issue (“Context”, “Reported Against”, “Resolved By”) and assign the action

Management of scope for installation process

Scope from a Workplan to an Installation is now identifying the instance of the Installation

• This way the Input of the Installation can be identified
• Hence Operations of the Workplan are allowed to implement elements of the Installation, as before, as well as elements of the Input of the Installation.
  • This allows the Workplan managing the installation to remove some elements of the input of the installation, load the parts of the Installation, and then mount back the elements of the input.
• Ex: To install cables, need to remove the blankets from the fuselage, put in place the cables and put back the blankets

Provide Preference Settings for Wrap mode in Process Gantt

Provide a new Gantt Preference settings to display the Wrap Mode in System View

• Process Gantt must be in “System View”.
• This preference activates the display of the Wrapped portions for the Operations which exceeds the cycle time.
• The wrapped portions of the operations are colored in lighter shades to denote the previous cycle.

Usability Enhancement in Relations Panel

Display all keywords for Item-Product links in Relations Panel  

When selecting an Item scoping a Product:

• In R2020xGA, the Relations Panel shows only the scoped Product and not any other relations.
• From R2020xFD01 onwards, along with scope, it shows other relations such as ‘First Upper scope’ and ‘Implement Link’.
