Sheet Metal Costing

The SOLIDWORKS costing tool helps you calculate how much it costs to manufacture sheet metal, machined, multibody parts, and assembles as well as plastic molded , cast, 3D printed parts, and multimode weldments by automating the cost estimation and quotation process.

Evaluating the Cost of a Sheet Metal part with the Material Weight Option:

The software depends on the un suppressing of flat patterns in sheet metal parts to determine the cut paths. Applying costing to a sheet metal part with an unsuppressible flat pattern may lead to inaccurate costing results.

Costing Task Pane

  • In a sheet metal part, click Costing (Tools toolbar or the Evaluate tab on the Command Manager) or Tools > SOLIDWORKS Applications > Costing.
  • When a sheet metal template has sufficient information and the part uses a matching material, the Costing Task Pane will display an Estimated Cost Per Part based on a cost estimate.
  • If there is not enough information in the template, or if you want to edit the Costing input values, follow the steps below.

ESTIMATED COST PER PART

  • Under Costing Template, select a template and the Default templates are available or you can create templates to use custom manufacturing data and See Creating a New Sheet Metal Template.
  • These fields will automatically populate from the template whenever the part's material matches a class, name, and thickness combination within the template.
  • The Material cost is the cost in the template for the selected Class, Name, and Thickness from template combination. You can override Material cost without editing the template. Overrides affect only the part that is open, not the template. If you override Material cost, the field appears in yellow.
  • Under Stock Type from Template, select Material Weight.
  • Under Area to cost select an item to define the material usage.
  • Under Quantity, set the Total number of parts and Lot size.
  • Optionally, under Markup/Discount, adjust the material cost or the total cost using a percentage factor.
  • The software extracts material information from the material set in the part and performs a cost estimate. The costing manager identifies and displays manufacturing features in the part, such as cut paths and bends. The Costing Task Pane displays the Estimated Cost Per Part.
  • Click Begin Cost Estimation.
  • The Costing Manager will display the cost estimate for the SolidWorks sheet metal part.

Types Of Meshing In SOLIDWORKS

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a powerful tool used by engineers to analyze the behavior of complex designs under various loading conditions. At the heart of FEA lies the concept of meshing, which plays a critical role in achieving accurate and efficient simulation results. This article dives into the three main meshing techniques employed in SOLIDWORKS: 1D, 2D, and 3D meshing.

1D MESHING:

• Used for geometries having one of the dimensions very large in comparison to rest of the two (Refer fig.1).

•Element Shape: Line (Refer fig.2)

•Element Type: Rod, beam, Pipe etc,.

• Practical Example: Long shaft, beam, pin joint, Connection elements. In SOLIDWORKS, We use beam element for 1D meshing. Beam elements are capable of resisting axial, bending, shear, and torsional loads.

2D MESHING

• Used for geometries having two of the dimensions very large in comparison to last dimension.

• Element shape: Triangle

•Type of the Element : Thin shell, membrane, plate.

• Practical application: Sheet metal parts, Plastic components like instrument panel

3D MESHING

• Used for all 3D objects.

•Element shape in SOLIDWORKS: Tetragonal.

• Type of the Element: Solid

• Practical application: Gear Box, Engine Block, Crankshaft.

Appropriate meshing:

You can mesh a sheetmetal part with Solid tetrahedral element but meshing a sheetmetal with shell element gives you approximate result and reduce computational effort which will be handy for any simulation engineer. likewise, you should mesh a beam or rod using beam  element.

How to create Electrical Cable

  • In library there will be an option cable reference manager
  • Selecting the Cable Reference Manager opens a new table.

Electrical cable reference manager

Solidworks Electrical will launch the Cable Reference Manager, where you can create a new reference and assign it to a classification (standard). The classification manager is like a folder in which it can filtered with different standards.

Creation of new cable properties

Once new reference is pressed. The software will open the Cable Reference Properties tab. The property tab requires you to define your cable specifications, including diameter (dia), cross-sectional area (Sq.mm), color, number of cores, and core diameter.

Cable core properties

  • Cable core properties will be present in the same tab as the 3 rd option at the top.
  • There we have to add the number of cores we need inside the cable.
  • You must also specify the diameter of each core and designate its type (power, neutral, or miscellaneous).
  • And colours of the cores also given in this tab.

Assigning cable between components

  • After creating the new cable, place it and assign it to the components that require it.
  • Perform these steps on the schematic page.
  • Once you place the components and draw the wires, you can then create the cable.

Associated cable cores

  • Once you've completed the previous steps.
  • In associated cable cores tab we have to add the cable using new cable option.
  • And then we have to select the cable we have created in the library manager.
  • And we have to select the four cores and we have to select four wires at the bottom.
  • association.jpgAnd after selecting all these we have associate it using associate cable cores option present at the top and also higlighted at the bottom image.

Associating the cable turns it green and updates the origin and destination.

Associating the cable adds it to the wires and displays the cable mark between the components

Show Assembly As Part In Indented BOM In SOLIDWORKS

SOLIDWORKS indented BOMs typically display all components within assemblies and subassemblies in detail. This is, after all, the intended functionality of indented BOMs.

Sometime when we use a standard assembly component item in SOLIDWORKS for creating model which is a bought out and SOLIDWORKS consider that as a assembly and it will list all the part in that assembly in indented BOM. Since it is a bought out item our requirement will be it need to appear as  a single part in our BOM

If we save that assembly as part and use it in the assembly all the kinematic motion will be loss and we can’t use the motion in the assembly

Let me insert a assembly to the assembly and then take the BOM for example.

In this case the hydraulic cylinder line item number 6 is a brought our item, and we need it as single line item, lets seen how we can do it in this blog

How Simulation-Based Design Is Enhancing Product Development For Manufacturers?

1. Introduction to Simulation-Based Design

Simulation-based design is a process that uses computer-aided engineering (CAE) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to help manufacturers optimize their industrial processes. Simulation allows you to test a product or process before it is built, saving time and money in the long run. Additionally, simulation-based design can help you identify potential problems with a product or process, allowing you to fix them before they become costly issues.

2. What is Computational Fluid Dynamics?

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the application of mathematics and scientific principles to solve problems involving fluid flow. In other words, CFD allows us to simulate the movement of fluids (like air and water) through a given space. This can be used to optimize a wide variety of industrial processes, from cooling systems to fuel injection. CFD simulations are usually run on powerful computers, and they can take a long time to complete. However, the results can be well worth the wait. By using CFD to optimize your industrial processes, you can save time, money, and resources.

3. What is Computational Structural Dynamics?

Computational Structural Dynamics (CSD) is a field of engineering that uses computer simulation to analyze the dynamic response of structures under load. In other words, it helps you understand how your design will behave when it's subjected to real-world forces. This information can then be used to optimize the design and make sure your product is as durable and robust as possible. Thanks to CSD, manufacturers can streamline their product development process and improve their end products.

4. How to Determine if Your Product Design is Suitable for Simulation-Based Design?

The first step is to determine if your product design is suitable for simulation-based design. You'll need to have a 3D CAD model of your product in order to run simulations. If you don't have a 3D CAD model, you can create one using SOLIDWORKS. Once you have your model, you can use CAE and CFD software to analyze and optimize your product. You can also use simulation-based design to evaluate new product designs and verify the performance of existing products.

How Simulation Software Help You Optimize Your Industrial Processes?

1. Definition and benefits of industrial simulation software

Industrial simulation software helps engineers optimize industrial processes. Simulation software can predict the behavior of a product or process under different conditions, while this information can help engineers troubleshoot problems and improve products and processes. The benefits of using industrial simulation software include:

Reduced manufacturing time and cost.

Improved product quality.

More efficient use of resources.

Enhanced safety.

2. How to use CAE and CFD to optimize your industrial processes
Industrial engineers leverage two main types of simulation software: CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). CAE software empowers them to analyze the structural performance of products, while CFD software allows them to investigate fluid flow and heat transfer. Both types of software can help you optimize your industrial processes. For example, CAE software can help you optimize your product design to make sure it is structurally sound, while CFD software can help you optimize your process layout to minimize energy consumption and production costs.

3. Why simulation is important to your industrial processes?

Simulation Software is important to your industrial processes because it allows you to optimize those processes. It allows you to see how different changes will affect the outcome of your process, so you can make the best decisions for your business. With simulation software, you can also test different scenarios to find the most efficient solution. This can save you time and money in the long run, and help you stay ahead of the competition.

4. How to choose a simulation tool based on your use case

It is important to select the appropriate simulation tool for the specific use case. The first step is to identify which domains are of interest, while the second step is to determine the level of fidelity required for the analysis. The third step is to choose the simulation software based on the identified requirements. The final step is to execute the simulation and analyze the results.

5. How to work with simulation software

One of the benefits of simulation software is that it allows you to explore different design scenarios and make changes to your designs quickly and easily. Simulation software allows you to verify the performance of your designs before production. To maximize the benefits of these tools, it's crucial to collaborate closely with your simulation software provider. They can help you set up simulations, meshing, and analysis procedures that will give you the results you need. With the right tools and a little bit of know-how, you can optimize your industrial processes for better performance and reduced costs.

Conclusion:

Industrial simulation software can help you optimize your industrial processes by providing a more accurate view of what is happening in your process. With CAE and CFD, you can improve the efficiency of your industrial processes, reduce waste, and optimize your product design. The sentence "Simulation is an important part of product development and should be used early in the process to get the most accurate results." is already written in active voice. It clearly states the importance of simulation (an important part) and recommends its use early in development (should be used early).
