IronCAD is a productivity leader when it comes to Aerospace Design because of it’s…..

  • Drag and drop features from custom catalogs for faster model building
  • Single scene design environment for easier assembly creation
  • SmartSnap feedback for precise positioning
  • TriBall tool for part and assembly positioning and manipulation
  • Dynamic handles for quick, precise sizing and positioning
  • Photo realistic rendering for concept sharing
  • Animation for motion simulation
  • Dual kernel and translators for better connectivity
  • Direct Face Modelling for enhanced model manipulation
  • Fully associative 2D view creation and annotation for design communication

The Challenge:
When Julio C. Banks, Senior Advanced Analyst, was faced with a challenging engineering problem recently, he chose IronCAD as his primary tool for solving it. The problem: a 20-piece manufacturing run of expensive turbojet engine hubs ($15,000 each) was improperly processed. Rather than scrap the parts, Julio was tasked with determining whether the parts could be modified and salvaged.

IronCAD the Productivity Solution:
IronCAD's Design Flow architecture enabled Julio to make design changes and iterations easily, without having to fight with the constraint systems which entangle most traditional CAD systems

Summary

  • After several iterations, I found a satisfactory solution to the problem.
  • We were able to salvage the parts for a savings of $300,000.
  • IronCAD played a key role in reaching a successful solution.

"IronCAD allowed me to spend more time on the engineering problem itself, rather than learning how the solid modeling software works." - Julio C. Banks, P.E.


Company: DASA Dornier GmbH

Industry: Aerospace

Location: Friedrichshafen, Germany

The Challenge:
Mr. Schorn, system engineer of the Operation Research department of DASA Dornier GmbH, selected IronCAD as his favorite 3D solid modeler, because IronCAD's hyper-operability capabilities and it's unique tools are in a single environment. There is no other comparable 3D solid modeler that could offer him this quality and functionality.

IronCAD the Productivity Solution:
IronCAD enables Dasa Dornier GmbH to receive significant calculation results in shortest time. The great number of integrated import and export filters, the animation capabilities and the photo-realistic rendering as well as the ease of use make IronCAD the program of choice for DASA.

Summary

  • Using IronCAD, a universally applicable 3D simulation instrument was built that demonstrates loading simulations of the the TRANSALL C-160 cargo plane.
  • IronCAD makes it easy to build component groups and to supress or unsupress these groups for collision checking.
  • IronCAD's animation capabilities let me generate the needed simulations in the shortest time and enables me via the positioning tool, TriBall, to adjust animation paths in a very simple method.

"IronCAD gives the freedom to freely design the 3D models and the simple handling in 3D space helps me save time, time which I then have available to interpret the calculation results." - Mr. Schorn
