B&W EFX - Concept

et o ca op- own es gn o ramewor ssem es

.Create a conceptual design by creating a curve skeleton

2. Basic Design

. e a e es gnAssemble connector elements, screw connections, create

detail drawings and BOMs

Advantage: Easier, faster, easier to modify

B&W EFX - Functions for Drawings and BOM

raw ng reat on EFX copies available template drawings from library

Function for profile auto-dimensioning (overall dimensions, holes,

beam end copes)

BOM Creation

EFX creates customizable BOM parameters on assembled components,

so customer can use his regular BOM-tables to list EFX and non EFX

components

Function for creating stock length tables (list overall length of different

sections in assembly)

B&W EFX - Target Markets / Competition I

ma er mac ne es gn Complete welded frames or with T-slotted aluminium beams less than 20% of complete design is framework design

usually not more than 1000 parts

Competition: Inventor, SolidWorks, SolidEdge

Pro/E + EFX : Best solution for framework design, screw functionality

Large machines / production plants

25 - 75 % of design work is framework design Includes machine design tasks, framework design tasks, piping etc...

-> weak in structural design, large assembly performance

Structural steel software like X-Steel, Pro/Steel, AdvanceSteel

-> unable to do machine desi n i inPro/E + EFX: Best solution which can do all design tasks in good performance


15/16

B&W EFX - Target Markets / Competition II

ant es gn w t pressure vesse s, o ers, p p ng Huge assemblies > 5000 parts 20 - 50% of complete design is framework design

Includes solid modelling design tasks, framework design tasks, piping etc...

Competition: Inventor, SolidWorks, SolidEdge

-> weak in structural design, piping, large assembly performanceP ant es gn so tware PDS, PDMS

-> expensive, problems in modeling components inside vessel

Pro/E + EFX: Solution which can do all design tasks in good performance

Architectural structural steel, facades, roofs Huge assemblies > 5000 parts

Competition: Autocad with special structural steel or facade design packages

Structural steel software like X-Steel, Pro/Steel, AdvanceSteel

- , ,

automated drawing creation etc.)

Pro/E + EFX: usually weaker than special packages, but becomes stronger for
