Design Optimisation using Pro/ENGINEER® BMX (Behavioural Modelling Extension)

PTC took the design optimisation routine out of Pro/MECHANICA and created a new module, BMX, that can be used to optimise any kind of Pro/ENGINEER parameter, not just for structural performance. This is done by creating an analysis feature in Pro/ENGINEER.

An analysis feature can be created using any of the geometry measures available in Pro/Engineer plus:

         Motion analysis

         Mechanica analysis

         Relation analysis

         Excel analysis

         External Analysis

         User Defined analysis

         MathCAD analysis (Wildfire 3.0 on)

Then BMX can perform the following types of study:

         Sensitivity study

         Feasibility analysis

         Optimisation

         Multi-Objective study

Therefore it is possible to define some very complex design rules and to incorporate them into your design and optimise the design at the same time.

Case Study - Optimisation of a Cam Profile

Other BMX Case Studies

         Controlling the position of the C of G for an assembly

         Controlling the cross-sectional area of a duct as it changes shape along its length

         Balancing exhaust manifold lengths

         Controlling the perimeter length for a hydro-formed tube as it changes shape along its length.

The capabilities are so broad that the limit is your imagination. Elite Consulting can help you to define and program design rules and optimisation routines in Pro/ENGINEER.
