Sigmund for Solid Edge

SIGMUND EDGE

SigmundEdge, a powerful tolerance analysis software for SolidEdge developed by Varatech, enables engineers to evaluate, optimize and validate assembly build quality, relative to piece part tolerance and assembly process variation. Fully integrated within Solid Edge, this value-added software can be used early in the development phase before design solidification. SigmundEdge prevents costly tweaking delays at ramp-up as well as long-term variation problems. Sigmund has been awarded the Premier Certified Select status within the Solid Edge Voyager Program.

BENEFITS:

SigmundEdge can predict the quality of a Solid Edge design and assembly based upon predetermined tolerance values or determine the component tolerances required to meet a given assembly build objective. SigmundEdge even includes a powerful utility, which automatically optimizes all tolerance. Sigmund Edge's powerful utilities and easy to use menu-driven modeling capabilities greatly reduce time and effort, and its succinct reporting module provides all relevant information. SigmundEdge optimizes design and assembly process, add precision where needed and eliminates overly costly designs.

Solid Edge Integration:

• Unrivalled ease of use/Quick to learn- Designed for the non-specialist. Unrivalled speed/quick modeling.
• Unique automated Pattern matching capability, Worst case Interference check.
• Intelligent Nominal and tolerance based Interference Visualization at worst case, Min, Med, Max conditions

SIGMUND ABA for SOLID EDGE

Sigmund ABA for Solid Edge is an assembly build analysis tool that, for parts and assemblies defined in Solid Edge, allows engineers to evaluate the 3-D effects of component tolerances on the quality of products. Sigmund provides engineers with an easy to use Solid Edge-Sigmund interface to evaluate the capability of their Solid Edge designs, ensuring that assemblies go together 100% of the time, while meeting all the assembly quality and performance criteria.

Benefits:

Sigmund ABA for SolidEdge can be used to resolve complex assembly problems for rigid bodies, evaluate design improvements, identify important design characteristics and determine optimal tolerances for parts and assemblies created in Solid Edge. Using Sigmund from design concept through production will improve quality, reduce costs, and cut development cycle times.

Development of a Sigmund assembly build analysis model follows an intuitive, step-by-step methodology that includes Component Geometry Creation, GD&T or Tolerance Emulation & Design/Tolerance Optimization.

SIGMUND ABA KINEMATICS

SigmundABA Kinematics is the World's only assembly build analysis tool that allows engineers to evaluate the 3-D effects of variation on a kinematic mechanism throughout its range of motion/operation. Sigmund provides engineers with an easy to use interface to evaluate the capability of kinematic mechanisms and the component/assembly design, ensuring that assemblies go together 100% of the time, while meeting all the assembly performance criteria. SigmundABA Kinematics is available as standalone, as well as integrated with SOLIDWORKS, Solid Edge, ProEngineer/CREO.

KEY FEATURES:

• Consider piece part/assembly variation and kinematic motion in the same environment.
• Allows defining relative motion between multiple parts/components by using different kinematic joints, such as - primitive, revolved, cylindrical, universal, planar, ball, and bearing joints.
• Allows assigning different driver motion in a mechanism.
• Allows considering variation analysis in both open and closed loop mechanisms with zero to multiple degrees of freedom.
• Can animate kinematic motion and trace the range of motion for a specific feature at both nominal and deviated conditions.
• Can evaluate thousands of outputs throughout the range of motion in mechanisms.

BENEFITS:

Sigmund ABA Kinematics can be used to resolve complex assembly problems for kinematic mechanisms, evaluate design improvements, identify important design characteristics, and determine optimal tolerances for parts and assemblies.

• Avoid creating multiple models by considering variation and kinematic motion at the same time.
• Allows accurate assembly of closed-loop kinematics mechanisms.
• Can identify non-build conditions because of actual and accurate constraints applied at specific joints.
• Can evaluate the effects of variation throughout the range of motion in mechanisms.
• Can compare them with the nominal range of motion relative to what you might see in an ADAMS model.
• Can generate automated reports showing multiple indices of information throughout the range of motion.
