Automobile Manufacturing

Digitalization begins with the product design process. Actual sample fabrication was once considered an integral part of the product design conception process. Siemens 3D NX software introduces detailed digital design technology into the field, thus changing people's concept.

Product Design Tasks

Product planning is the earliest stage of the entire life cycle of a product. Product requirements and project planning are derived from the concepts and ideas of this phase. The Siemens public collaboration platform provides the core functionality for this transformation, enabling information management covering the entire product and plant life cycle.

Using Siemens software tools, designers can quickly view various modeling technologies and car-specific templates, and can quickly evaluate various options, getting rid of the limitations of the design tools themselves; design teams can quickly obtain or create various reusable design and manufacturing elements during their daily development work.

The full details of the car design are included in a single 3D CAD Master model. The software facilitates the processing of composite design data to create a complete 3D product definition from which producibility issues can be evaluated through simulation prior to prototyping. Since all the information and its details are in a 3D model, design changes can be made quickly and early in the car design process and this information can be efficiently shared with all teams working on the car design at the same time.

Continuous embedded simulation and validation capabilities provide a means of verification for currently selected methods and resources. Reduce the number of physical experiments that need to be completed by using simulation, engineering configuration studies, and "hypothetical" analysis. In addition, automotive performance testing for a range of applications can be performed in an integrated environment. The process model can be conveniently displayed with a visual display of the exact operation, resource layout and its use, etc., to generate a manufacturing plan that is proven correct for the first time.

For car manufacturers and their suppliers, it is critical to carry out a lot of research and development work and meet high standards of production quality.

This requires test equipment that can quickly record and analyze measurements while performing a realistic simulation of the entire mechanical load of the car and its individual components. In this field, Siemens can provide engine test bench, transmission test bench, automotive test bench (product development) and CATS flexible test bench automation system.
