DESIGN SMARTER. RESPOND FASTER. DELIVER WITH CONFIDENCE.

Would you like to spend more time on new product development and less time preparing bids? Would speeding up your custom product configuration win you more business?      

Designing smarter can help you respond faster to your customers’ needs and deliver your products with confidence every time. A best-in-class design automation strategy can bring many benefits to your current development platform.

Attend the Autodesk Design Smarter 2013 webinar and learn how to:
•   Generate families of parts from a single file 
•   Validate product configuration with rules-based design
•   Focus engineering time on new product development
•   Cut custom order delivery time without cutting quality

HOW TO GET YOUR FACTORY DESIGN LAYOUT RIGHT FIRST TIME

Learn how Autodesk® Factory Design Suite can help you get it right first time

Inefficient factory layout can limit your productivity and slow down your manufacturing process.
The ability to test layouts before implementing them can save you time and help avoid costly errors.

Autodesk Factory Design Suite is an interoperable suite of design, analysis, and presentation software built specifically for factory layout design. It pairs the familiar AutoCAD® environment with the advantages of 3D modelling. It was mainly created to help better visualise and optimise factory layouts, make more informed decisions before any equipment is installed, and avoid costly changes at later stages.

In this Webinar, you’ll learn how to:

• Integrate 2D layout data with 3D models to visualise and configure your most effective machinery locations and create interactive virtual walkthroughs.
• Analyse your space and machine movements to identify clash detection and improve human interaction early in the design process.
• Use the built-in factory layout tools to shorten design times and help keep your schedules and budgets on track.

HOW TO MANAGE YOUR DESIGN DATA EFFECTIVELY WITH AUTODESK® VAULT

You didn’t become an engineer to manage data. So don’t.

There are many departments within your organisation that need to look at your design data. But that doesn’t mean you should be the one to coordinate everything. With Autodesk® Vault Professional, everyone in your organisation from Procurement to Marketing can see the design and engineering data in a secure environment.

And if your company is currently running Microsoft® SharePoint® software, it’s even easier – Vault Professional integrates right out of the box.

In this Webinar, you’ll learn how to:

• Track, search, find and organise all of your projects in one central, secure location
• Share design data across your whole organisation
• Manage engineering change orders automatically – routing, tracking, and monitoring them as needed.
• Capture revisions automatically, so anyone can see what has changed.

OPTIMISE ROUTED SYSTEMS AND PIPING DESIGN

Designing routed systems such as pipes, tubes, hoses, cables and harness systems can be complex and time-consuming. With Autodesk® Inventor®, you can manage complex routed systems, make sure that pipe runs comply with your design standards and that electrical systems are integrated into it. 

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

• Simplify the design of pipe runs and cable harnesses to fit into complex assemblies and tight spaces. 
• Create accurate calculations, avoid small radius bends, and help ensure routed components fit into the mechanical assembly long before manufacturing. 
• Use Inventor’s rules-based routing tools to ensure that pipe runs comply with your design standards. 
• Get the appropriate fittings and materials for your design.
• Generate 3D cable and harness routing, then automatically create lists with wire lengths and nail board diagrams for manufacturing.

PREDICT PRODUCT PERFORMANCE THROUGH SIMULATION

An invitation to discover the ultimate way to simulate and optimise your designs 

Thanks to Simulation, you can now predict product behaviour and reduce the need for physical prototypes and machine trials.

The Autodesk integrated Simulation tools will help you to speed up your product design, facilitate your design decisions early in the process, and get more innovative products to market faster without compromising safety and performance.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

• Improve performance, accuracy, strength and reliability of your products
• Reduce manufacturing costs, accelerate the product development process, and lower the environmental impact of your designs 
• Optimise your designs using Autodesk cloud-based capabilities
• Re-iterate quickly to achieve the optimum solution well before manufacturing begins

IMPROVE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY WITH LARGE AND COMPLEX ASSEMBLIES

You can now design complicated parts and large assemblies in a quick and efficient manner.

The Autodesk Digital Prototyping solution offers a range of tools aiming at speeding up your workflow and reducing delays when working with complex large assemblies. These tools were created to help you solve complex design challenges quickly and hence get your job done in a much shorter time than before.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

• Work with complicated parts and large assemblies efficiently and safely with Autodesk Inventor 64-bit support
• Manage large amounts of data with Autodesk® Vault software 
• Fly through and detect collisions with Autodesk® Navisworks®
• Simplify your Inventor models using Shrinkwraps and Representations
