However, some solutions showcase such dramatic efficiency gains that there is no denying the benefits of their implementation – design automation is one of them.  \nDesign automation is an approach that helps you capture and reuse engineering knowledge and intent. Automation technology enables you to easily use rule-based design – without needing to know how to code.  \nAs a designer or engineer, do you find yourself spending excess time completing repetitive tasks, modelling standard features or configuring products to custom specifications? Do you wish you could free up your time to focus on projects where you add unique value, innovating to create better products?  \nAutomation of your processes can help you advance projects to completion in mere seconds, which frees up valuable time for the tasks that require your level of skill and engineering knowledge.  \nNo matter the size of your company, or whether you are fabricating and manufacturing many different types of products or just a few, there are likely repeatable patterns and workflows in every environment that can benefit from automation.  \nIn this e-book, we outline a handful of practical ways you can begin automating:  \nProduct configuration  \nDrawing creation  \nOrganisational standards  \nBatch processing  \nConnecting data to PLM/ERP systems  \nPRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF DESIGN AUTOMATION 3  \n1  \nWhy use design automation?  \n‘In terms of automation, I take the approach that every second counts, and if I can squeeze a single ounce more out of the system, then that’s what I will do.’ – Ben Cornelius, Senior Lead CAD Modeller, Dynamic Attractions  \nImage courtesy of Dynamic Attractions  \nPRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF DESIGN AUTOMATION 4  \n 2  Design intent  \nAn automated approach offers options from basic parameters to cloud-based automation, but we will begin with the fundamentals – building in design intent. Your CAD software contains a rules-based system that can be used to drive parameters and attribute values in your models.  \nAs an engineer, you are likely to be familiar with design intent, the method that defines relationships between objects and ultimately defines how your model behaves when dimensions are modified. You can streamline workflows and tasks by focusing your efforts on capturing and communicating elements of your parametric design. Then your design intent can be incorporated into your automation workflows and used to build on the work you have already completed.  \nDesign intent can be formulas that update multiple dimensions when you change one, or design intent can set limits to dimensions, so your design does not exceed raw material sizes available in your inventory.  \n‘I’ve had to create designs where I had to create 2,500 user parameters, and I was able to write a short little line of code to generate those parameters and populate them – it’s just huge.’ – Jason Hunt, Designer, FS-Elliott  \nPRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF DESIGN AUTOMATION  \n5  \n3 Specialised tools  \nAs an engineer, it is important to move from an idea to 3","cbCaiptHLHfe2OeT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiptHLHfe2OeT","pdf",6307022,"English","# Chapter 1 Why use design automation?\n# Chapter 2 Design intent\n# Chapter 3 Specialised tools\n# Chapter 4 Product configuration\n# Chapter 5 Drawing creation\n# Chapter 6 Standards compliance\n# Chapter 7 Batch processing\n# Chapter 8 Extending to the cloud\n# Chapter 9 Getting started","[{\"question\":\"What is design automation, and what problem does it solve?\",\"answer\":\"Design automation captures and reuses engineering knowledge and intent.
