McLaren Automotive 3DCS Use Case & Customer Story Full Vehicle Modeling
Key Product Highlights:
Start Analysis at the Very Beginning - Styling
As a company, McLaren been using the tool for 7 years McLaren DVA now. They started out with a basic model, very basic in the Objectives terms of the results and analysis, but now they are using complex models at several stages of the design process. 1. Model the entire vehicle 350 Parts McLaren starts right at the beginning of the project, when 5400 Points the car is just a styling theme. They work with the concept 2500 Tolerance Groups engineers on how to break up the panels and align those parts to each other as well as the structural elements of 2. Simulate xture and process the car. The team then moves on to the design and performance, and propose solutions to issues development stages, which is analyzing the gap and ush conditions. That is the core part of what the dimensional 3. Con rm and validate datum team does. They approve all the engineering releases for structure, tolerances and critical all the parts. In doing so, they con rm that all of the features geometry, all of the GD&T matches what is in the 3DCS model. The team then moves on to pre-production phases, con rming that what is actually being built is what they We started using it as a very basic model, very basic intended to build, and correcting any design engineering in terms of the analysis, results, etc. Now we’re at that point before handing over the car to the series using it in quite a complex way in several stages of production team. the design process.
