Common Terms

Knowledge Based Engineering(KBE) Embedding knowledge elements into CAD

models for standardization and automation.

Engineer-to-Order (ETO) Method of automating product that is engineeredand manufactured differently per each orderderived from a set of rules.

Configure-to-Order (CTO) Method of manufacturing to allow create variable

products from base product.

Design Automation Methods and tools to automate and streamline

design tasks



Design Automation Benefits

Improve Profits (Time and Money) Address Niche and Personal Markets

Decrease Time to Market Provide Accurate Product Cost Estimates

Improved Sales Tools and Proposals Perfect Product Quality

KBE Examples

Spring Generator Clamp Cylinder



Configure-to-Order (CTO) Products

The product has been designed with a fixedset of variations.

All components generally already have beenassigned a part number.

In most cases there is no engineering time

required to fulfill the specific product order. Products may have some automated one off

personalization elements.



CTO Product Example



Engineer-to-Order (ETO) Products

Products have established rules that requireinputs to create infinite product variations.

There are often components that specific tothe one single product order.

There is often engineering required per each

order and is often automated. Product order often result in one off product

designs.

ASC - Case Study

A typical autoclave can take even anexperienced engineer up to 16 weeks todesign and model. With the help

Autodesk Intent, we can reduce thattimeline to just a few hours.

Dave MasonPresident

ASC Process Systems

United States

ChallengeTo handle the complexity of designing and building autoclaves quickly andefficiently, ASC needed to automate its engineering and design processwith Autodesk Intent.

Results

Enabled users to validatedesign and engineeringdecisions as they worked,minimizing the need forphysical prototypes.

Reduced autoclave designtime from 16 weeks to onlyhours.

Enabled engineers to spendtheir time improving theproduct as opposed tomodeling.

Evans Consoles - Case Study

Challenge

Results

To achieve double-digit growth and stay ahead of the competition, EvansConsoles needed to accelerate and simplify the concept-to-manufactureprocess of its design automation programs.

Doubled sales and tripled thecompanys opportunity listwithin 12 months.

Slashed design time fromweeks to only minutes.

Vastly improvedcommunication betweendesign engineers and theshop floor.

Autodesk Inventor Automation helped usimprove our bottom line by allowing us to

provide real-time quotations to customersand get products out to the marketplacewithout adding new designers. In fact, ourbusiness has literally doubled in the last 12months and our headcount has remainedrelatively the same .

iLogic Panel

Add rule: The Add Rule command enables you to add a rule to your model ininventor

Rule Browser: The Rule Browser command shows all rules applied in thecurrent document

Event Triggers : The Event Triggers command helps you enable or disable therules applicable for events.

iTrigger : iTrigger is a user parameter you can use to activate rules manually. Itcan execute one or more rules

Regenerate All Rules : This command helps you synchronize the parameters inthe rules with your model.

Delete All Rules : This command deletes all the rules associated with yourmodel. This is ideally used after configuring the model to export a sampleconfiguration.

About iLogic : This command gives you the details of the iLogic Extension
