Design Automation

One platform to cut duplicate systems, reduce overtime and avoid the rework that happens between sales and engineering.

What is design automation?

Design automation lets you capture and reuse engineering knowledge and intent. Automation not only helps reduce errors and time spent on tedious, repetitive modelling tasks, but it can also be scaled to streamline downstream development processes.

Design automation applications.

Design automation can mature from automating basic parameters to full-scale product configuration. Setup can be as simple or complex as your current needs demand and implementation can be managed internally, by us, or in a hybrid arrangement. Learn how D.A technology, found in Constructor, lets engineers easily use rule-based design without complex coding.

Examples of what Constructor automates

  • Automatically selects the correct impeller, motor and housing size based on duty, efficiency targets and manufacturing limits.
  • Generates a complete BOM including steel weights, finish, hardware, ATEX components and region-specific materials.
  • Builds the job card and routing by pulling the correct operations for weld, paint, balance and assembly.
  • Produces approval drawings with dimensions and notes populated directly from the configuration.
  • Calculates energy usage and performance data from the selected fan and system curve.
  • Generates a fully priced quote with breakdowns for options, accessories, labour and shipping.
  • Creates an ERP-ready data packet with exact part numbers, attributes and costs.

 

Help customers understand designs and shorten your sales cycle with real time, interactive 3D models.

  • Communicate options and design details with photorealistic 3D previews.
  • Get started quickly by importing your existing 3D models and geometry. Constructor supports .stl, .obj, .gltf, .glb, .iam, .ipt, .par, .psm and .asm
