Streamline the Publishing of Model Based Definition Data
Model Based Definition (MBD) is a common methodology for many industries to simplify their product development process. With MBD, all information to define, manufacture and inspect a part or assembly is contained in the 3D model. While this saves time in design and eliminates additional documents to manage and revise, it can be difficult for many downstream users to find the specific information they need and tedious to develop shop aids and First Article Inspection (FAI) reports.
The Inceptra MBD Accelerator solution for CATIA V5 or ENOVIA DMU streamlines the publishing of your MBD product data throughout your organization by extracting important design information and presenting it in simple, usable formats such as Microsoft Excel®. It enables the quick generation of manufacturing documents and automates the production of FAI reports.
Quickly generate:
- Shop aids for manufacturing
- First Article Inspection (FAI) reports for quality
- Model analysis for the bidding process
- Material reports for purchasing
Easily configure CATIA models in accordance with different OEM standards
The Inceptra MBD Accelerator is easy to configure to work with the many different ways that MBD can be defined and organized in a CATIA model to follow various OEM standards. The content and format of reports can also be customized. Configuration Profiles can be defined and distributed to suppliers to ensure consistent reporting throughout the supply chain.
