Description

A Feature-based Product Line Engineering (PLE) Factory functions similarly to a traditional manufacturing facility, but it focuses on digital assets rather than tangible components. To build this factory, your organization develops a comprehensive “superset” supply chain of digital assets that are accessible across the entire range of products. These assets come with all the available feature options provided in the product lineup. The selected features for each product are detailed in the Bill-of-Features, and subsequently, a product asset instance is generated using the Gears product configurator. The PLE Factory, driven by Gears, transforms into an automated production system that assembles and configures the shared digital assets according to the chosen features for each product variant at the simple push of a button. With BigLever’s Gears, your organization benefits from a unified set of PLE concepts and frameworks, enhancing your tools and assets, which ultimately streamlines engineering processes throughout the entire product lifecycle. This integration not only promotes efficiency but also fosters innovation within product development.

Description

WindowsLDP, short for Load Distribution Program, serves as a quasi-static tool for the design and analysis of both external and internal spur and helical gear pairs. This software has been widely adopted by many consortium members as their primary resource for gear design and analysis. There are also modified versions of this program that facilitate surface wear and duty cycle evaluations. Utilizing computationally efficient and precise semi-analytical methods, WindowsLDP calculates the load distribution across multiple engaging teeth of gears. Based on this load distribution data, it assesses the loaded transmission error, along with root and contact stress distributions, mesh stiffness functions, and tooth forces, while also providing insights into other relevant design parameters such as lubricant film thickness and surface temperature. Users can select either SI or English units for their analyses, enhancing flexibility in application. Additionally, WindowsLDP supports multi-torque analyses and evaluations of manufacturing robustness, making it a comprehensive tool for gear design. The program's versatility allows engineers to tailor their analyses to specific project requirements effectively.
