Body Fastener Designer is a role dedicated to the design and instantiation of fasteners in Transportation & Mobility Body Structure Engineering Process

Body Fastener Designer accelerates complex body in white fastened assemblies design, simulation and manufacturing, thanks to automated fasteners instantiation capabilities based on company standards and rules.

This role delivers an efficient, scalable fastener design to manufacturing and validation for very large number of data in a complete vehicle program thanks to a unique paradigm of bundle of fasteners, which captures the fastening intent.

Benefits

• Unique solution delivering this approach on the market, from concept to detailed design, simulation and manufacturing

• Perform the complete definition of the fasteners of the body in white with the most detailed level of the design.

• Key functions supporting Concurrent Engineering, Lifecycle & Change Management and Downstream processes (Manufacturing, Simulation...)

• Enforce company standards and rules usage, reducing number of errors

ighlights

• Optimized flexible workflow for easy and efficient fastener design

• Bundle of fasteners to capture a fastening intent and to manage very large number of fasteners in a complete vehicle program

• Enhanced mechanical fasteners thanks to flexible assembly functionality, reducing the cost for libraries and number of references management

• Automatic stacking computation

• Position and thickness analysis enables to propagate design modification to fasteners

• Designers choose the right fastening components, compliant to company standards and rules, through Fastening Composition Assistant.

• Companies can capture Enterprise fastening know-how into standards libraries and instantiating rules to be used during fastener composition.

• Design modification on fasteners are made easier with enhanced management of design modification impacts on fasteners by handling fastener composition for thickness change.

• Fastener Analysis & Review

• User Defined Open to build a consistent working session containing fasteners and stacked part instances.

• Design rule Validation

• Assembly Manufacturing / Process definition

• Adaptive fastener definition for all possible configurations thanks to variant management

• Convey torque information for manufacturing processes by capturing nominal value and torque tolerances on fasteners
