3D PMI, MBD, and Advanced Applications of Solid Modeling Seminar

Portland, Oregon Area

In-Person Public Seminar:
Date: June 28, 2010

Advanced Dimensional Management LLC is pleased to announce our 3D PMI, MBD, and Advanced Applications of Solid Modeling Seminar: Covering 3D-GD&T™ and Using 3D Data as Design Deliverables . This Seminar is open to the general public and available on a first-come-first-served basis. Register early to ensure your place and receive an early-registration discount.

• This seminar presents an overview of the methods, concepts, rules and techniques for using PMI, MBD, digital data and Limited Dimension Drawings as design deliverables, including traditional, partially- and fully-annotated solid models, based on the ASME Y14.41 and ISO 16792 standards and custom material developed by Advanced Dimensional Management.

Do you want to learn the latest techniques, tips, and guidelines for reducing engineering documentation and taking maximum advantage of Digital Data and Annotated Solid Models in the workplace? Do you want to learn what it takes to effectively communicate the requirements for parts and assemblies while minimizing the need for paper drawings? Do you want to reduce design cycle development time? Do you ever ask yourself "What is the best way to dimension and tolerance this complex-shaped part?" If you answer yes to any of these questions, this Seminar is for you!

Released in 2003, the ASME Y14.41 Standard (followed by ISO 16792 in 2006) was the first standard designed to control the structure and format and presentation of Annotated Solid Model Data Sets. This important new standard and its implementation will be presented and discussed in detail in this exciting new Seminar.

This Seminar presents an overview of the rules, techniques, and best-practices for using PMI, MBD, and Solid Models in conjunction with an engineering drawing, and for using the PMI, MBD and Solid Model Data Set as the sole deliverable. These techniques are being used by leading-edge corporations as part of their drive to minimize design cycle time, streamline their documentation practices, and to maximize their efficiency throughout the design development, manufacturing, inspection, and assembly processes.

Definitions:

• PMI: Product and Manufacturing Information
  A common term used in industry and other standards to describe all of the digital data associated with a product, including design (definition) data, analytical data, manufacturing data, inspection data and all other related data. The term is typically used in situations where the digital data is used as the design deliverable and by downstream process.
  
  
• MBD: Model-Based Definition
  A common term used in industry to describe situations where a product is partially or fully defined using digital data (most often 3D solid model data). Like PMI, the term is typically used in situations where the digital data is used as the design deliverable.
  
  
• Limited Dimension Drawings
  A common term used in industry in cases where the design deliverable consists of a drawing and an associated digital data file. A limited dimension drawing is typically not fully-dimensioned, and a note or other means directs the reader to obtain missing dimensional data from the associated CAD data (usually a 3D file). An example note may read "Obtain values for all undimensioned surfaces by measuring CAD model file #123-xyz," or something similar.
  
  Caution: Attend our Seminar if you want to understand what is needed to do this correctly!

About the Instructor:

Bryan R. Fischer is President of Advanced Dimensional Management LLC in Sherwood, Oregon, offering leading-edge training and consulting in Dimensioning and Tolerancing, GD&T, Tolerance Stackup and Analysis, Dimensional Management, Design, Standards and Quality.

Bryan is an ASME Certified Senior Level GD&T Professional and a member of the ASME Y14.5 Sub-committee Support Group, and directly involved in developing the ASME Y14.5 standard. He is recognized as a leading authority in the theory and application of Dimensioning and Tolerancing, GD&T, Tolerance Analysis and Stackups and Dimensional Management.

He is a published author, having written several books on Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, Tolerance Stackups and Tolerance Analysis, including "The Journeyman's Guide to Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing: GD&T for the New Millennium" and "Mechanical Tolerance Stackup and Analysis." In 2008 Bryan revised the 11th Edition of The IHS Drawing Requirements Manual, and wrote an extensive new chapter on PMI and Advanced Applications of Solid Modeling, which includes 3D-GD&T™ and using digital data as deliverables in industry. This is a book in itself. It is based on the ASME Y14.41-2003 and ISO 16792-2006 standards, and MIL-DTL-31000C, and includes material on using PMI, 3D-GD&T™, and 3D digital data in industry, and on annotating 3D assemblies and weldments, which is not yet addressed in any of the standards. This new material will be used as the basis for this seminar. Check out our Books and Materials section for more information.

With many years professional experience in the field, he brings a wealth of practical experience, enthusiasm and even a little humor to the classroom. Students enjoy our training – most of our clients are repeat customers.
