White Paper: Autodesk’s Digital Prototyping for Mfg. Program (CIMdata)

Autodesk Factory Design Suite 2013 is a 2D & 3D factory layout and optimization solution that helps you make better layout decisions by creating a digital prototype of your factory.

Autodesk Factory Design Suite 2013 is an integrated factory layout and optimization solution built specifically to help you design and communicate the most efficient layout by creating a digital model of your factory. It includes tools for optimizing 2D layouts, integrating 2D layout data with 3D models of machine and facility components, creating 3D layout models with bidirectional 2D/3D associativity, as well as cloud- based factory asset resources and secure mobile and online sharing of 3D layouts. It combines unique layout-specific functionality in AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor software with powerful visualization and analysis tools that can help increase innovation, design efficiency, and communication when responding to changing business requirements.

Standard

Mfg. Facility Layout for AutoCAD

Autodesk Factory Design Suite Standard 2013 offers unique functionality in AutoCAD software, enabling manufacturers to create factory layouts much faster than ever before:

· Facilities layout design - Continue to work in your familiar AutoCAD-based working environment using architectural drafting tools such as walls, doors, and windows.

· 2D asset library - Easily add commonly used factory objects such as conveyors, robots, and material handling equipment to help expedite layout designs.

· Material flow analysis—Get real-time feedback on optimizing 2D layouts directly in AutoCAD instead of calculating by hand or using spreadsheet tools.

· Cloud services for 2D asset publishing and translation - Access custom, out-of-box, and manufacturer-specific content in the cloud.

· Laser scanning workflows - Save time on manual tape measurements by leveraging laser scanning in your layout workflows.

Premium

Build Your Digital Factory

Autodesk Factory Design Suite Premium 2013 provides an integrated 2D and 3D digital factory solution that gives you everything you need to create digital factory models. It contains everything in the Standard edition, plus:

· 2D and 3D visual layout environment—Easily try "what-if" scenarios by dragging and dropping 3D models of machine and facilities content on top of your 2D floor plan.

· Large library of 3D factory assets - Access out-of-the-box parametric 3D factory content such as conveyors, material handling equipment, and facility equipment that can be resized and reused.

· Cloud services for 3D asset publishing and translation - Access custom, out-of-box, and manufacturer-specific content in the cloud.

· Factory asset builder - Use Autodesk Inventor software to create 3D models of factory equipment, or easily import factory assets from suppliers to include in your layout.

· Factory design efficiency - With bi-directional associativity, 2D drawings and the 3D factory layout model automatically update whenever the layout design changes.

· 3D factory visualization and analysis - Collaborate better with immersive high-quality renderings and visualizations and explore digital factory layouts with interactive 3D virtual walk-throughs and fly-throughs.

· Mobile device and online sharing of 3D layout models - Make it easy for nontechnical stakeholders to view and understand your layout design intent.

Ultimate

Advanced Factory Layout &

Equipment Design

Autodesk Factory Design Suite Ultimate 2013 is an advanced factory layout and equipment design solution that helps machine, equipment builders and manufacturers better design, optimize, visualize, share factory layouts and factory equipment designs. It contains everything in the Premium edition, plus:

· Interference checking—Detect space constraints and equipment collision early in the design process with Autodesk Navisworks Manage software.

· Motion simulation and stress analysis—Predict how your equipment will work under real-world conditions with Autodesk Inventor Professional software.

· Automated tools for designing routed systems—Use Inventor Professional to reduce errors and save time with automated tube and pipe runs and electrical cable and harness design.
