Track: Training & Education
802 (TR): Developing User Created Training Materials Yourself
Colleen Kennedy, FLSmidth-Krebs As companies refine their internal methods, training becomes an essential element in standardizing formats. Creating your own materials is a good step toward documenting your methods. We will review methods for screen capture, text and eventually making these materials available to the whole Catia community.
803 (EME): V4 to V5 Harness Migration & V5 Standard Part Development
Marlon Woodward, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics V4 to V5 harness migration techniques and lessons learned at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. Also including proper development of V5 "Smart" electrical devices, catalogs, and integration of your catalogs with your PDM system.
804 (EME): Electrical & Tubing Systems Design Checker
Jean-Baptiste Raud, Dassault Systèmes The emergence of CAD systems has tremendously helped all sectors of Industry to reduce development cycle times. But while today’s designers can easily create shapes and surfaces, virtually assemble parts, design harnesses and tubes in 3D, they sometimes lack tools to validate their design. Errors spotted late in the process usually mean heavy delays and rework costs. This presentation will discuss methodologies that can be used by Electrical and Tubing Designers, from any Industry, to check their design early in the process to validate that it is correct in terms of data integrity and that it follows specified business rules.
805 (EME): Electro-Mechanical Roundtable
Neil Martinuzzi, Lear The implementation of 3D CATIA tools is a challenge to many companies. This panel discussion draws on experience from Aerospace, Automotive and Heavy Equipment engineering and manufacturing companies. The session starts with a set of topics that each panel member addresses these include tools, process and PDMs. We then move to fielding your questions to this panel, nothing is off the table and this year our panel will include Dassault Electrical expert Laurent Bianchi.
806 (TR): New User Training - A Fresh Approach
William Salvas, IBM Corporation In today’s engineering environments it is challenging to train new users. Due to the length of hiring cycles, new users arrive full of energy while all available trainers require every spare minute to stay on schedule. This session demonstrates a method used by the Technical Support Team when faced with this situation. It will address a WLS self paced approach including mentoring, focusing the user on self picked design project, incorporating modules such as Part Design, Drafting, Manufacturing and Assembly Design. In this case a Crew Shell was chosen exposing the user to all phases from concept through production.
807 (TR): How to Enhance Productivity in CATIA with a 3D Mouse
Ken Denton, 3Dconnexion This hands-on session explores how to enhance productivity and comfort by adding a 3D Mouse to your modeling toolkit. A 3Dconnexion navigation device will be provided during the session for each lab participant. Taking a gentle ride down a short, smooth, learning curve, within minutes you'll know how to navigate effortlessly with 6 degrees of freedom as well as program specific CATIA functions to the device to enhanced workflow, productivity and comfort.
808 (TD): Advanced V5 solutions to Speed-up Mold and Die Design and Manufactuirng
Daniel Pyzak, Dassault Systèmes In this session, you'll get an overview of what's new in V5 for mold and die makers. Customers cases will be used to highlight new capabilities or new practices in temrs of both tooling construction, collaboration, manufacturing.
809 (KBE-MAN): Advanced Manufacturing Using Knowledge Based Applications
J.P. Bouma, INCAT The concept of Knowledge Based Engineering has largely been focused on the design sector of companies and the manufacturing sector has been left out. The problem is; manufacturers and designers are not integrated and the two groups are often at odds.  The focus of this presentation is the integration of design and manufacturing by using automation to capture and reuse the intellectual property of both disciplines. We should and can embed manufacturing processes into intelligent document templates to simultaneously design and manufacture components or processes. Through integration we can focus on Standardization, Customization and ultimately Automation.
810 (VPS): Optimizing Product Appearance Simulation with Advanced Shaders Creation
Franck Montigon, Dassault Systèmes  Laura Scholl, Mental Images Kumar Iyer, NVIDIA In V5R16, DS included the CgFX technology from nVidia into V5 leveraging dramatically the quality and the flexibility of rendering images production in real time. This session will be focused on the creation of the CgFX shaders using both nVidia and Mental Images tools with results example into the V5 realm.
811 (TR): The 50 Minute MBA Peter Marks, Design Insight This session is for CAD managers and others who need to win greater financial and top management support for their work. How to find the top problems in your company and then make a compelling business case to get the resources you need to be effective. This is an interactive presentation based on the book "Aligning Technology for Best Business Results." It leverages what you already know about product development and engineering; and covers the three basic business drivers responsible for winning higher market share and profit.
