DesignQA®
DesignQA is the leading engineering quality software system that
detects, assesses, corrects, and prevents product development problems
caused by inaccurate, incomplete or inconsistent design modelling
practices.
DesignQA operates from within a CAD system using native CAD geometry and
menus to ensure consistency and accuracy of data.
Features
|
|
 |
Custom fields support expands data segregation capabilities when
analysing quality metrics.
|
|
|
Ability to review models while working.
|
|
|
Standards file versioning, password protection and quality stamping in
support of supply chain management.
|
|
|
Profile options to allow administrator to limit user Run Panel options. |
|
|
Quality Metrics Database - maintains record of which quality standards
have passed or failed and a variety of other information to enable you
to identify, quantify, and track product quality across your entire
organisation during all design phases. This neutral data format can be
read and visualised using the quality metrics management solution,
DriveQA®.
|
|
|
Extensible modelling standards can be customise to support diverse
requirements. |
|
|
Provides hyperlinks to company-specific or online reference and training
material. |
|
|
Easy to use application requires little end-user training. |
Benefits |
 |
Immediate and constructive feedback on models. |
|
Models are reusable by downstream users. |
|
Models incorporate data requirements of down stream applications. |
|
Ensures models can be used by analysis, manufacturing and rapid prototyping systems. |
|
Ensures models are properly layered and segmented to facilitate ease of use and filtering by others. |
|
Ensures models are prepared for PDM submission. |
|
Eliminates non-value-added rework and clean-up tasks by applying consistent design techniques. |
|
Ensures models have the correct syntax and naming conventions to avoid miscommunications. |
|
Reduces production delays by embedding manufacturing requirements. |
|
Ensures models are efficiently stored by eliminating unused or extraneous constructs, elements and other information. |
|
Out of the Box Standards - provides a jump-start for implementing bestpractices. |
Standards
DesignQA checks CAD models for compatibility with selected corporate and
project specific standards. DesignQA reports pass/fail for each standard
and provides details in order for design engineers to correct their
models.
DesignQA includes over 100 different kinds of standards. Each standard type can be tailored to invoke one or many
specific design requirements for your organisation This means that
companies are able to write their own custom checks, which allow
organisation to maintain their corporate standards.
