Powertrain manufacturers are in the midst of one of the most disruptive periods of their industry. Delivering on innovation is the key to gaining a competitive advantage but to manufacture powertrain innovation leads to increased complexity and multiple design challenges. Faced with wide-ranging customer requirements including, reduced emissions, power diversity, hybrid engines and the need for increased engine durability, powertrain manufacturers must develop more efficient and more powerful powertrains.
To achieve these challenging customer and performance targets, heavy equipment manufacturers need to adopt a system-driven development approach integrating functionality for systems modeling, computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), computer-aided engineering (CAE) and product data management (PDM) to optimize performance throughout the development process.
Our Mechanical Powertrain Design solution provides traceability between multiple engineering domains and provides integrated virtual validation of the CAD/CAE and test environment to help engineer’s front-load decision making in the development process by providing a closed-loop view between requirements, design, and verification.
Explore the key areas of this solution.
Consolidate and coordinate design, manufacturing, and service views of bills of material for powertrain designs. Enable powerful configuration tools, building sophisticated product variants based on customer and global design requirements.
With integrated tools to go from Concept to Detailed Design to Analysis to Manufacturing and beyond, NX can help the customer better meet or exceed the demand pressure from the airlines by accelerating design productivity. NX enables more design iterations in less time, resulting in bringing a better product to market faster.
Changing consumer preferences and regulatory pressures are forcing automotive companies to find new ways to improve vehicle performance and design. These pressures profoundly impact the design and engineering processes. NX provides a full suite of design tools that work within a fully integrated product development system from concept design through manufacturing.
Leverage best-in-class model-based engineering solutions to develop safe reliable and secure powertrain controls applications simultaneously optimizing mechanics, electronics and software while continuously integrating simulation and test.
Automatically generate composite manufacturing data — such as flat patterns and data to drive automated cutting machines, laser projection systems, fiber placement machines, and tape laying machines — and share it downstream and across the enterprise
Additive manufacturing is changing the way products are designed as well as how they are manufactured, by enabling optimized designs that were previously impossible or too expensive to make. Design, optimize, and build metal and plastic components using the latest additive manufacturing methods.
It’s no secret that products today are increasingly complex with many, if not most, reliant on integrated electronics. It is critical that designers of both systems collaborate throughout the development process in order to prevent conflicts and ensure alignment between each system prior to design completion.
Achieve superior first time quality of powertrain designs by simulating casting, machining, fabrication and assembly operations in the design, prior to purchasing expensive tooling.
Leverage collaboration among multiple engineering teams using different mechanical design tools while providing confident visualization and design review capabilities, especially for large, complex powertrain assemblies.
