Model-Based Engineering Solutions
Embrace the Future of CAD/CAM/CAE with MBD/MBE
Model-Based Definition (MBD) and Model-Based Engineering (MBE) are the keystones of the next revolution in CAD/CAM/CAE, heralding a new era where annotated 3D models and 3D Technical Data Packages (TDPs) serve as the single source for all design information, eliminating the need for traditional 2D drawings.
What is Model-Based Definition?
Model-Based Definition (MBD) encompasses the system and techniques used to define a product as completely as possible using 3D data. Central to MBD is the annotated 3D model, which includes 3D geometry, Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI), metadata, and other essential data elements.
Why MBD? Why MBE?
Implementing MBD at the inception of the product lifecycle enables rapid, seamless, and cost-effective development and deployment of products from concept to disposal. MBD fosters a lean environment with reduced error rates, re-work, and labor in data and document creation processes.
Considerations for Implementing MBD
Migration to a 3D MBD environment requires careful consideration of legacy data migration, MBD data re-use, and the development of new standards and processes for 3D model annotation. Quality assurance and ensuring true design intent in the model and TDP are paramount for successful MBD implementation.
