  2. Sharing AssembliesWithout giving it all away! Why Do This Presentation?: • Have you ever wanted someone else’s product to add into your own assembly model? • Have you ever ended up “NOT” finding their product on-line and available for download? • Have you ever thought of sharing your product but chose not too because of the fear of sharing too much? • This is a real, daily occurrence and it’sserious. • The risks are missed opportunities and competitive copying.

  3. Sharing AssembliesWithout giving it all away! • Why Share At All? • Positives: • Market Awareness • Builds Relationships • Speed/Confirm Selection • Test; Fit, Form, Function • Minimize Repeated Effort • Complete the Design. • Negatives: • Loss of Proprietary Info • Loss of Competitive Adv • Aid Knock-off Efforts • Source Elsewhere • Managing Data. 3

  4. Sharing AssembliesWithout giving it all away! • Shared Assembly Goals: • Volume Shape/Space • Interference Detection • Positions/Config/Motion • Collision Detection • Mass Properties • Min. Impact on Resources • Min. File Management • Without Giving It All Away! 4

  5. Sharing AssembliesWithout giving it all away! Test Dataset: • SW Source Model • Files (125) • File Size (95.5MB) • All Features • Component Qty (151) • 3 Top Level Config’s • Full Function/Mates. 5

  6. Sharing AssembliesWithout giving it all away! Methods of Sharing Assemblies: • Pack and Go • Neutral File Format • Save Assembly as a Part • SpeedPak • Defeature. 6

  7. Sharing AssembliesWithout giving it all away! Pack and Go: Example • File Menu, Pack and Go… 7

  8. Sharing AssembliesWithout giving it all away! Pack and Go: Trade Offs • Positives: • Full Detail & Modifiable • Including Asm Motion • Uses Familiar Tools • Fewer Questions Likely • Include Drawings, Etc. • Easily Rename Items • All Config’s Included. • Negatives: • Giving It All Away! • Full Content/Everything • Big Dataset, Even Zipped • Too MuchInfo./Detail • Knock Off Ready • Giving It All Away! 8

  9. Sharing AssembliesWithout giving it all away! Neutral File Format: Examples • File, Save As • Parasolid (*.x_t) • Step (*.STEP) • Iges (*.igs) • ACIS (*.SAT) • Check Export Options • Check Import Options. 9

  10. Chart Example Neutral File Format: Comparison 10

  11. Sharing AssembliesWithout giving it all away! Neutral File Format: Trade Offs • Positives: • Single File (Parasolid) • Full Volume • Hinders Change (Bodies) • Smaller File Size (1/10) • File Template Choice. • Negatives: • Lost Mass Properties • Lost Mates (F/-) • Single Configuration • Appearance Changes • Many SW Items to File. 11
